Nice play-fight shot, Nick. Their coats do look strange when wet, don't they!

Victor was green from his previous home for the first few months in YWP.

Thanks Martin and Ruth. Lots of opportunities with these characters

Good shot, maybe a family feud...

nickEnackEnoo · 27 Aug 2016

Cheers Plamen, but I can assure you, it was just play man

As Frod said; they have a 2 large enclosures housing 4 males and are in the process of completing 2 more adjoining 'pods'.
Highland Wildlife Park also have PB

I prefer the armadillos; they crack me up every time. More of a subject for the video forum though.

2 of YWLPs polars gave some potential illegal immigrants a shock last year when they were in transit.
Made me chuckle.

That was just Nissan as far as I remember (although admittedly, my memory does need the aid of google, but I did think it was just the one Bear in transport)

I think it was just Nissan too. How was Victor looking Nick? I've heard they were splitting them into two groups of two as he was getting a bit left out by the youngsters? Lovely shot - I am jealous that you get to see them so often. We've only been the once and it was epic rain all day (which we just stood in and watched the bears obviously as they are awesome!).

Last weekend Nissan and Pixel were out together, but I only saw Victor and Nobby in the holding pen (the caged area) and I think it's Nobby that's more nervous of the old fella.

Cheers Fi and Rooban

Yes - when we visited Nobby was giving him a very wide berth indeed!
