The climate of a desert is a lot different to that of the island

I think it could - it looked fairly weathered, even the leash looked quite old. I don't think the screws looked 'new'.

I do agree that Dharma most likely experimented in other climes and regions of the world, however I think that the bulk of their 'research' was done on the island - for the main reason of it being the only 'secret' place away from the prying eyes of mankind, aswell as the islands properties being conjusive to such experiments.

Whilst I'm not saying that the Polar Bear wasn't experimented on in the dessert, I do think that it's more likely that it came to be in the dessert due to an error in their time-travelling or duplication experiments - which I accept are themselves still open to speculation at this point.
