The polar bear Kali was born in the winter of 2013 on the Northwest Alaska coast. He was rescued by an Alaska Native hunter from Point Lay, Alaska in March 2013 after he harvested his mother not realizing she was a female. Alaska Native people are the only people in the US allowed by federal law to hunt polar bears and other marine mammals for subsistence. At McDonnell Polar Bear Point, the Zoo is offering information about the plight of the polar bear and the role polar bears play in the lives of Alaska Native people.
