SeaWorld FedEx-ed Two Polar Bears 2,000 Miles Just To Impregnate Them And Sell More Tickets

After being sent to Pittsburgh for a five-months, two female polar bears are headed on an arduous cross-country trip again, back to their original enclosure at SeaWorld San Diego, and there’s a high probability those polar bears are now pregnant.
The Times of San Diego reports that the two females, Snowflake and Szenja, were returned to their Wild Arctic exhibit Wednesday after they were introduced to Koda, a male polar bear at the Pittsburgh Zoo and PPG Aquarium as part of a breeding program between the parks. Eric Otjen, assistant curator of mammals, told The Associated Press that SeaWorld spent more than "six figures” to send its two polar bears to Pittsburgh for the breeding season, with costs including shipping the bears back and forth via FedEx.
