Kali the polar bear gets up close and personal to a viewing
window at the Buffalo Zoo on a sunny afternoon. Kali, originally from
Anchorage, Alaska, is expected to remain at the Buffalo Zoo alongside fellow
polar bear cub Luna as the zoo proceeds with construction of the $14 million Arctic
Edge exhibit, which broke ground in February. The project received $750,000
from New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s NY Works program to complete the funding.
The construction of the exhibit will ensure that Luna will stay at the Buffalo
Zoo. Kali also could remain a permanent resident pending approval from the U.S.
Fish and Wildlife Service, expected in Spring 2015. By Jeff Pawlak and Brittney Singletary
