Sisu’s thoughts in October

26.10.2023 – Photos by Sheila and Philip Baker

Terve! Hello! It’s your Sisu boy in the Yorkshire Wildlife Park calling again. It’s already October so I’m, of course, eagerly waiting for the Winter.

As you know I’ve spent a lot of time alone and could only see my fellow bears from the distance.

However, things have changed and now I could join Indie, Yuma and Nobby! They really are jolly good fellows.

Indy, Yuma, Nobby & Sisu were all in together again this morning

Don’t I look huge compared to Yuma?

After playing with my friends I want to spend some time on my own.

Can you imagien that the snow in Ranua came to stay! Here Mother Nature has started painting the trees and the bushes with beautiful colours.

This is a photo from the Summer when I loved to admire the flowers together my bird friends.

Hmmm, I think the keepers – or rangers as we call them are preparing a surprise for me.

Yes, there’s definitely something going on ….

I love surprises so I must hurry to see what the surprise is.

Oh bear! Look what they brought to me.

I guess they know I miss the snow and ice so I got this Yeti box that looks like an ice float.

I love it! I love it!

Thank you, dear rangers! I think the visitors are as happy seeing me play as I am playing. 🙂

    Thank you for this great special about Sisu.
    I am looking forward to seeing him and his friends next week. I fear the weather will not be as fine as in your photos

  2. Bei Sisu kommt doch der Vater durch.
    Was für ein großer, kräftiger Bär…
    Danke für die schöne Fotolieferung! 🙂
    Die Vier scheinen sich gut zu verstehen.

  3. Dear Sisu

    I wish you a short wait for winter. You are already looking forward to winter. I hope for your sake that it will also snow in winter.
    In the meantime, I’m sure the Rangers have lots of ideas to make your wait as fun and entertaining as possible.

    Dear Sheila and Philip

    Your photos show a big and good-natured bear who is very happy about the Rangers’ idea to keep him busy. The canister is white, just in time for winter.
    It’s nice that Sisu is no longer alone.

    Hugs,
    Anita

    Thank you also, dear Mervi!!

  4. Dear Sheila, Mervi and Philip!
    What a beautiful bear Sisu is! You can’t help but love him when you see him delighted with a toy and proudly presenting it.
    Thanks for the great pictures and Sisu’s October thoughts.
    Heart-warming!

    Hugs

  5. Ja, Sisu ist ein ausgesprochen schöner Eisbär! Es ist toll, dass er sich so gut mit Nobby, Yuma und Tala versteht!! HOFFENTLICH erleben die Eisbären im YWP einen Winter mit ganz viel Schnee!! Danke für die Fotogrüße aus UK!!

  6. Dear Sheila, Mervi and Philip!

  7. Dear Sheila & Philip,

    I am so happy that Sisu now has company and gets along well with Yuma and Nobby. He looks great too and the wound is definitely getting smaller.

    I wish him and all the bears another snowy winter and thank you for the great photos.

    Best regards!
