The caption from this 1950s/1960s postcard reads:

MZ. 18—OVERTON PARK ZOO, MEMPHIS, TENNESSEE. Polar Bears are very popular with zoo visitors through the world.  Contrary to common belief, they do not suffer from the summer heat.  Their white fur and layers of fat insulate them from heat as well as cold.
