30.9.2024 – Photos by Pat Waldron
The Yorkshire Wildlife Park with it’s spacious enclosures is a real paradise both for the animals and their visitors. There’s a large number of different species and due to the succesful breeding there are many sweet babies, too.
This is lovely Auckley …
… and this charming guy is Rocco.
Belle’s and Gaston’s puppies are growing fast.
Belle is a good and tender mama.
The puppies are exploring their enclosure with great curiousity.
When Pat visited them the bushdog family was treated with something feathered.
Oh my, this one looks proud of the eatable treasure.
It looks like the kids don’t mind sharing the treasure. 🙂
Darcy and Brook are the proud parents of these lovelies.
This is Tafari …
… and this is Kendi.
Fallen leaves are signs of the Autumn but oh dear, they don’t taste so good! 🙂
The cheetah kittens love to play with each other …
… but the moments with their loving mama Darcy are golden!
Don’t these photos melt your heart? They certainly melted mine!

Dear Pat!
Thank you for these sugar-sweet pictures!
What little, i.e. very young, humans and little animals have in common is that you are enchanted by them and immediately fall in love with them. Their helplessness and their cute and clumsy behaviour and playfulness awaken in us the protective instinct and the desire to cuddle them. They also look adorable, and that includes all the little ones shown here…
I was very happy to see a photo of sweet Auckley again.
Hugs

Dear Pat,
one photo is cuter than the other!
I especially love the young Cheetas with their punk hairstyle.
The little rhino is adorable too, as is the bushdog family.
Thank you for these uniquely beautiful photos and best wishes!

Dear Pat!
There are many cuties in YWP. The young cheetahs with the mother are my favorites.

Was für schöne Fotos von den Tierkindern im YWP, die jedes auf seine Art etwas ganz besonders sind und wahrlich das Herz zum Schmelzen bringen…. Ebenso Darcy im Umgang mit Kendi und Tafari, sie strahlt sehr viel Fürsorge aus…👌💝😊
Dear Pat and Mervi
As I have not been able to get up to YWP in 2024 because of the awful weather and events at home I am delighted to see the new arrivals in your family album.
