there was a bear in pittsburgh that used to totter from left feet to right feet for hours. Lots of animals in zoos go nutty from lack of stimulating environment. 'natural enclosures' arent soley to make you feel like you are looking at animals in their natural environs, it is also to help their mental health, and how long they draw a crowd.
