The bear, featured in the zoo's Arctic Passage exhibit, was a delight for zoogoers to watch, as they sipped on warm winter cocoa.

And though it's not officially winter yet, the latest snowstorm which dumped up to 20 inches across parts of the region certainly gave the polar bear a taste of it's natural habitat in the Arctic.
