9.2025 – Photos by Pat Waldron
As you know there are not less than six polar bears in the Yorkshire Wildlife Park. You have met – and will meet – them all in this magazine. This time, however, I want to show you photos of some other sweet animals in this park.
This beauty is Tschuna.
Hmmm, I’m smelling something – smells like meat …
Oh yeah, the keepers brought me a big piece of meat ….
… and it’s rare – just the way I want it!
Now that my belly is well filled I can just chill!
Kendi and Tafari are growing fast but they still look quite ‘kittenish’.
Kendi
Tafari
Rocco has recently celebrated his first birthday.
He seems to have a healthy appetite. 🙂
Photos of mama Aysa and her kids Santa, Teddi and Emi always put me in a good mood.
Aysa is keeping an eye on the surroundings.
A tender moment
I just love Teddi’s hairdo! I wonder if he will reveal who his stylist is …. 🙂
I hope you’re even impressed by my teeth and my tongue!
Dear Pat! Thank you so much for the heart warming photos! On behalf of the readers of this magazine I wish all the animals, keepers and visitors in YWP a pleasant Winter season.

















Die Katzen gefallen mir sehr gut,
besonders die Löwinnen. 🙂
Rocco ist ein Hübscher !
Ja, neben den Eisbären gibt es noch viele andere tierisch-starke Persönlichkeiten im YWP und Pat sei’s gedankt für die tollen Fotogrüße von ihnen!!👍👌👏
So hübsch und bemerkenswert die verschiedenen “Katzen” und Nashorn Rocco auch sind, Tedis Frisur ist außergewöhnlich für einen Löwen…😉🤗
Dear Pat!
I am very glad to see Tschuna. I saw her as a cub in Wuppertal. She is a beautiful Lady now.
Rocco is lovely.

Thank you very much dear Pat and Mervi.
Best wishes to Rocco, Tschuna and the other animals in the Yorkshire Wildlife Park.
Dear Pat!
Thank you for this lovely update on the big cats and Rocko! I am also very happy to see Tschuna so well again. She looks great.
But the cheetahs and the nice lion family also make a good impression. I’m not surprised that they put you in a good mood.
And to see Rocko getting bigger is a joy! A belated Happy Birthday!
Mervi, thanks for editing!
Hugs
