Luka’s fitness & wellness

Hello folks! It’s your Luka in the Yorkshire Wildlife Park. I’ve seen that Sisu and Hamish have already posted Pat’s photos here so now it’s my turn!

I want to present my fitness & wellness program to you.

First I went swimming in the Lake Polar Bear ….

Oh yeah, I found a white can!

I didn’t feel like playing so much. I just enjoyed floating in the water.

Time for other activities!

Hamish thinks he’s the aerobics champion but I challenge him!

Just look how agile I am!

Please, feel free to give me a standing ovation! I see that one of the members of my fan club is here, too.

Oh bear, am I exhausted now! Thank you, dear Pat, for taking all these nice photos of me. On the other hand, it’s impossible NOT to take nice photos of me – even if I say so myself!!

  1. You’re right Luka, your beauty is hard to beat!
    And with your fitness programme, you can take on anyone.
    Your healthy self-confidence is also a great asset.
    Stay as you are and keep enjoying yourself.
    The next photo session is already waiting for you!

    Best wishes

  2. Ja, Luka, der rundum schöne Eisbär hat für sein Fitness-Training im Wasser und zu Land stehenden Applaus verdient!!👍🐻‍❄️👌👏😊

    • Dear Pat and Mervi
      Thank you for these photo albums and stories from YWP.
      Luka spent many years on concrete so he is making full use of the soft grass

  3. Dear Pat!
    Luka looks great! I can still remember his time in Wuppertal when he was much thinner and had a thin fur. No comparison to now!
    How wonderful that he has developed into a big and handsome bear man. His fitness programme certainly helped… Again, I particularly like the pictures of him rolling around in the grass with pleasure.
    Thanks for the nice update!

    Hugs
    Anke
