We have seen many articles with photos of the 8 polar bears in the Yorkshire Wildlife Park but this park offers a good home for many other sweet animals.
There are 3 black rhinos here at Yorkshire Wildlife Park, this is our only female ‘Najuma’ who is pregnant and will give birth in the Spring.
Also pictured is Makibo, who is the father. Sadly, Najuma lost her first calf a couple of years ago, so hopefully the birth will be successful.
Giant Otter: There are 7 giant otters, mum & dad plus 5 offspring
The baby is, of course, all visitors’ darling.
Looking at the world behind mama’s back.
Even the most curious baby gets tired. Happy dreams to you, sweetie!
There are a total of 3 giraffes at the park, Palle & Jengo our Reticulated giraffes and are seen having a little tiff. The third one is a Rothschild’s giraffe named Jambo who is darker in colour.
Wow!
Even more Wow! 🙂
We also have 2 Grevy’s Zebra’s
This one seems to be doing the morning gymnastics 🙂

Now I can watch what’s going on down there.
There are also beautiful big cats in this park.

This is only a small selection of all the beautiful animals in the Yorkshire Wildlife Park. You will see more of them later in this magazine.

Dear Pat
I had always suspected that the YWP was not only a paradise for polar bears.
All the animals can be seen in the green.
The giant otter family is adorable.
I wish Najuma all the best for her upcoming birth.
I have never seen a giraffe doing such gymnastic contortions. What do the animals get to eat. I want to have that too, because I want to be that limber.
The zebra does morning gymnastics. I must say, it’s a very sporty zoo.
The pictures of the red howler monkeys are very cute!!!
And then there are some nice cat pictures!!!
Thank you for the sporting and fine report from the YWP.
Hugs,
Anita
Dear Pat,
YWP really is a paradise for all wildlife!
The otter cub is so cute and you took spectacular photos of the giraffes. The lion and the jaguar look majestically into your camera and the
the monkeys’ climbing skills are legendary.
I wish the rhino a successful birth.
Thank you very much and best regards!

Dear Pat!
Thank you for this beautiful post from the YWP with many lovely residents!
After reporting mainly about the polar bears so far, it is nice to get to know many other inhabitants of this wildlife refuge. You managed to take wonderful, vivid and very remarkable photos!
It is very impressive how high the giraffes can swing their legs.
I keep my fingers crossed for a complication-free and “easy” birth and a vital and healthy little one for Najuma!
Hugs

Dear Pat!
Thank you for the wonderful pictures. I am very glad to see Tschuna. We met her in Germany.
