PITTSBURGH - The Pittsburgh Zoo signed a 600 pound, right-handed polar bear to a three year contact today. With incentives, the deal could be worth $12 million. Barbara Baker, managing partner of the Zoo, said that it the deal is "important to show our patrons that this organization is committed to winning and to bringing quality animals to the City of Pittsburgh."To make room for the new polar bear, Ms. Baker said the zoo released a veteran lion into Pittsburgh's Highland Park neighborhood.
