Jens has visited the Zoo Sauvage de Saint-Felicien on the 16th of October 2024 and met three beautiful polar bears there – Aisaqvak, Milak and Shouka.
There are two large enclosures for the polar bear trio.
Enclosure A
Enclosure B
Large parts of the zoo are inaccessible to pedestrians. For safety reasons, you have to use the zoo bus – as ALL the animals roam free. The bus takes about 60 minutes – that’s how big the huge area is for the animals.
Aisaqvak was born in the wild probably in 2002. Her parents are, of course, unknown.
Here’s her travelling plan:
07.09.2003 – 12.11.2003 Quebec

Aisaqvak and Jelle get along very well!
In an enormously large enclosure there are no less than 16 black bears! Here are two of them.
