The Minnesota Zoo announced Friday the three bears that will be part of a new exhibit opening in June have arrived at the zoo.

Apple Valley, Minn. — Three grizzly bears -- Sadie, Haines and Kenai -- have been living at the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center since 2006, when they were orphaned and rescued.

They'll go on public display on June 7, when the zoo's $23.6 million exhibit, Russia's Grizzly Coast, opens.

The exhibit will also feature sea otters, leopards and boars, animals native to the Far East of Russia.
