Our white giant friends in the Yorkshire Wildlife Park know how to be cool bears in every meaning of the word. Of course, they spend a lot of time in the Lake Polar Bear now that the weather is warm – or very hot.
Despite the heat Indie was very active in the water. He presented his new toy to the visitors.
It could be used in many ways.
How on earth did he managed to do this? Well done, Indie! 🙂
Even Luka had found something to play with.
The toy was a bit worn out but Luka was happy having it.
It didn’t taste so good …
… but it’s nice to have a companion – even if it’s furless! 🙂
Nobby was having a nap when he heard Hamish calling him.
Oh well, maybe I should go to him ….
It was a nice meeting.
Sisu prefers cooler temperatures ….
… but luckily there’s the Lake Polar Bear nearby.
I’m a Finnish Viking and the hot weather is no challenge for me! I can cope with anything and everything!!
However, I’m still a very humble guy – at least I think so!
Yuma and Luka were having a discussion about the day’s agenda.
It’s very hot so let’s go swimming!
OK, you managed to convince me.
… and they went swimming together.
On behalf of the readers of this magazine I wish our Beach Boys a happy Summer time. Dear Pat, thank you so much for these fantastic photos!
Dear Mervi, dear Pat,
Beach Boys is a great title for the bear gang in these hot temperatures.
Instead of ‘surf in USA’ they sing surf in YWP and have a lot of fun doing it!
Thanks for these refreshing photos in the summer heat!

Dear Pat!
The pictures are great. Indie with his toy is very funny. Luka, Nobby und Sisu sehen auch super aus.

Dear Pat and dear Mervi!
These are wonderfully relaxed summer pictures from Yorkshire and the title Beach Boys suits perfectly. I had to laugh at Indie and his nose thingie. Whatever it is, it fits perfectly. The boys look great and it’s obvious they are enjoying the summer and having fun. Good vibrations…
Thanks for this lovely post!
Hugs

Die Eisbären im YWP können, dank der Seen oder Teiche, wahrlich “Beach Boys” genannt werden ! Sie genießen die Abkühlung im Sommer und haben Spaß dabei, ob alleine oder in Gesellschaft…👍🐻❄️🐻❄️ 🐻❄️ 🐻❄️🐻❄️ 😊
Das Foto von Nobby mit dem “Nasenschmuck” ist ein toller Schnappschuss !!🐻❄️🙃
