- Cheers RogerA really good outcome, such a shame they were in such poor conditions before ... seems happy now though.
Thanks Fi - I'll post more shots after further visits - and others may want to add their own photos I'm sureBeautiful - thanks for posting. We won't be able to visit for a while so it is nice to see how they are doing
- Again, many thanks for the original heads-up on these, IngridAwww they are lovely, thank you for posting pictures of them, looks like they are settling well after the horrific life they had

- great enclosure (as one would expect at YWP), with elevated viewing areas allowing clutter-free photography over the necessary fencing!

- I am not sure whether a second or enlarged enclosure is planned Fi, but the new enclosure being used by the two younger bears at present is very large and well equippedI believe it is only the holding / rehab enclosure while their permanent one is being built too
- to be sure, and I look forward to seeing the others out and about in their new homeLooks like YWP have come up with another great relocation. He looks to be having a lot of fun.
- Thanks John - a visit is a must my friend, and even better now the Brown Bears are thereNice one Russ. I think i will have to make a visit.

- Thanks for that, Robin - seems likely from what you say. Be interesting to see how it all pans out if/when the large extension across to Hurst Lane is completedI think they are planning on building an enclosure in the trees between the Painted/Hunting dogs and the Lemur exhibit. Think they were having planning issues though. I think the enclosure they are currently in was built just incase they had to rescue any female Polar bears as they cant be housed anywhere near the male bears or would end up with the males fighting because of dominance issues. I stand to be corrected but haven't been for a while as was getting a bit same old and let my yearly membership expire.

The series will be broadcast from the Park at 8pm Monday to Friday from 20th August.
This five part series will follow the story of the bears in greater detail and will also show other zoos from across the UK, including Edinburgh and Jersey.
