Summer time with Indie and Yuma

27.8.2025 – Photos by Pat Waldron

Just like the older polar bears in the Yorkshire Wildlife Park Indie and Yuma have been coping with the hot days sun bathing and swimming in the Lake Polar Bear.

I guess Flocke’s and Raspi’s sons were watching if there were familiar visitors. First a look to the left …

Indie spent a lot of time chilling by the ‘sea side’.

Yuma was having a happy hour in the sunshine.

There was not so much interaction in the water but Pat managed to catch them together in this submarine imitation. 🙂

  1. Liebe Pat,
    Mit dir Yuma und Indie gemeinsam im Park zu chillen macht großen Spaß!
    Die beiden wissen die Sonne, die Ruhe und das Wasser zu genießen. Sie sehen prächtig und gutgenährt aus. Der Yorkshire Park ist ein Paradies und du bist zu beneiden, dass du so oft dort hinfahren kannst.
    Liebe Grüße und danke für die tollen Fotos!

    • Dear Pat and Mervi
      Raspi’s boys are still getting along and enjoying the five star facilities at YWP.
      Thank you for the report

  2. Dear Pat!

  3. Dear Pat!
    I agree with Britta-Gudrun that you are to be envied for having the YWP nearby and being able to visit it often. The weather also seems to be perfect every time, putting the animals in the best possible light.
    Indie and Yuma have grown into two charming and stately male bears and look great. It’s obvious that they love summer. I love it when they roll around in the grass, relaxing. Yuma (?) and his stick warm my heart…
    Thank you very much for the lovely update!

    Hugs
    Anke

  4. Britta- Gudrun hat die tollen Fotogrüße von Indie und Yuma aus dem sommerlichen YWP in treffende Worte gepackt, denen ich mich gerne anschließe… 🐻‍❄️🐻‍❄️💝
    Dank Pat können wir, aus der Ferne, am Leben von Flockes Söhnen und dem der anderen Eisbären im YWP teilhaben…👍👌👏🤗
