Griffith Park Zoo Abandoned Bear Enclosures

Abandoned bear enclosures at the original Griffith Park Zoo in Los Angeles, which operated from 1912 to 1965.
These abandoned bear enclosures are part of the original Griffith Park Zoo in Los Angeles, which operated from 1912 to 1965. The zoo housed a variety of animals, including bears, lions, elephants, and reptiles, before relocating to a new facility. The structures, designed to mimic natural habitats, now stand as remnants of the zoo's past.
