Amidst the backlash I have heard/read about the Lost finale, a complaint I have heard oft-repeated is that the polar bear from season one was never explained. Call me crazy, but weren't the cages on Hydra Island where the polar bears lived, and wasn't the one on the main island just an escapee? You could then ask why the Dharma Initiative would have had captive polar bears, but there are far more significant questions regarding them than their choice of zoo animals.
