Clyde was an Alaskan Kodiak bear housed at the Dakota Zoo from 1965 until his death in 1987. At over 9 feet tall, he was reportedly the largest bear ever held in captivity.
Clyde, together with his later companion Bonnie, were arguably the Dakota Zoo’s single-most popular attraction to date. His status is that of an icon for the zoo.
