18.12.2021 – Photos by Sheila and Philip Baker
Today Indiana, Tala and Yuma are two years old – or rather two years young. The keepers (rangers) had arranged a birthday party a few days earlier but who cares. The main thing is that our polar bear trojka was properly celebrated!
There was nice cakes and other eatable things for the kids.
The gifts were, naturally, very much appreciated.
There were even many interesting parcels and what could be more fun than tear them apart? 🙂
This birthday bear seems to have claimed lots of the gifts ….
…. but there was enough for everybear. 🙂
Mama Flocke was the guest of honour on this birthday party.
No time to entertain the visitors – they can admire our cute boomsies instead! 🙂
OK! Here’s some karaoke for you! Got any wishes? 🙂
Our bachelor bears had to enjoy the party from a distance ….
This is Luka in a very white dress.
Nobby is keeping his fur off-white which seems to be the latest trendy look. He’s a dedicated follower of fashion. (Do you remember this song by the Kinks?)
Mr Hamish I presume? Might one congratulate you for being a big brother now?
One might – thank you!
Hamish is dreaming. Maybe he remembers what it was like to be a wee ….
Sisu really looks happy in this photo which makes me incredibly glad! It’s almost unbelievable that this impressive polar bear was a little boy when I met him for the first time.
Christmas greetings from Flocke and her kids
Indy, Tala and Yuma are waiting for Santa Claus. I’m sure he will visit our sweet trio and hopefully bring them some snow!
The male quartet asked me to make a Christmas card for their fans. Here’s the result.

On behalf of the readers of this magazine I wish all the animals and their keepers in the Yorkshire Wildlife Park a Merry Christmas!
My special Christmas greetings to Sheila and Philip who have made it possible for us to follow all our polar bear friends in Yorkshire during this year.
