Polar Bears at Wellington Zoo[edit]

The fact that polar bears are in WotWots does not prove whether or not they are at the zoo now. If the credits show a particular zoo (WotWots was filmed at three zoos according to the WikiPedia article), that only indicates that the animals were at the zoo when the filming was done. I can't seem to find a copy of the episode that I can view, but I also find no evidence on the Web sites (site search plus looking at the zoo maps) that the Wellington Zoo, the Auckland Zoo, or the Melbourne Zoo currently have polar bears, and it would be very unusual for a zoo not to list the largest carnivore if they have one. If someone finds a current reference to polar bears at any of these zoos, we can (and should) add polar bears to the animal list(s), but a TV show that was filmed several years ago does not constitute current evidence.
