EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph from 1911, five young polar bears take a refreshing dip during their week-long holiday at London Zoo. The bears, owned by Doris del Monte of Copenhagen, were brought from Tromso, Norway, and were a delightful attraction for visitors. Their youthful energy and playful antics made them a popular sight at the zoo. The bears can be seen lounging on the rocks around the pool, while some take a leisurely swim in the cool water. The pool, surrounded by railings, is a perfect setting for the arctic animals to enjoy a respite from their daily routines. The bears, who were just four years old, seemed to be relishing their time away from their usual habitat, basking in the attention of the curious onlookers. The polar bears, hailing from the icy landscapes of Norway, were a rare sight in London, and their presence added a touch of exoticism to the zoo. The image of the bears enjoying their holiday at the zoo is a testament to the efforts made to provide them with a comfortable and stimulating environment, even during their time away from their natural habitat. This photograph, taken over a century ago, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when London Zoo was home to such unique and captivating creatures. The image of the polar bears enjoying their poolside holiday is a reminder of the enduring appeal of these magnificent animals and the importance of preserving their habitats in the wild.
