Yes
Looks like we visited a few days after @Cobra - mission to see the new bears accomplished :)
Word to the wise - the time has come for gloves and hat at Whipsnade. Blimmin baltic yesterday!! No one has told the new bears this as they were merrily playing in the pool...

Also - have you ever heard the sound of a mother hippo who has been a bit startled by a keeper appearing? I now have - and it is frankly terrifying!

C&C Welcome - all taken with a Nikon D7000 and 70-300 lens.

1. One new bear...

Can't say I have no ..

Love the soggy bear, DoF on the Lioness's and awwww certainly, on the mum and calf Hippo ..

But who on earth calls a donkey "Trevor"? :D Lovely pose though,
Nice set all round Fi (y)

Our car has this bingy alarm thing that goes off below a certain temp - we pulled into the Whipsnade car park and it immediately went off :D

Thanks Chris - I wouldn't say that to Trev's face. He was fronting up to everyone in the paddock. Including the 4x his size poitou donkeys!

I really wish that middle lioness had been standing in the same position as the other two but such is life.
 
Lovely set... the new bears are so adorable.
And yeah... Saturday was properly nippy!
 
1 and 5 for me Fi, great eye contact in the first...

And I agree- stupid bloody names for bears.
