A guy called Jim Clubb has a female polar bear in his private collection just outside of Oxford, who must be pretty tame/trained as his animals are used for television and films. I think his bear was used for various sequences in the Golden Compass, as was one of our snowies. Nice guy, he showed me, Terry and another b3tan, Bryan Damage, around his collection last year. Amazing experience.

He's got two ligers as well, which are HUGE:

Apparently someone "bred them by accident" and couldn't manage to look after them, so Jimmy took them in
