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.
