Dear Pat and dear Mervi

Hamish and Luka really are giants.
Adorable giants.
And likewise, they are not only a dynamic duo. No, they are also very elegant.
The brown tones dress the two bears very well.
Their wrestling round only shows that they are having fun.
Thank you for the impressive impressions of Hamish and Luka.

Hugs,
Anita

That’s a very lovely, funny, and informing publication. Love anything in it: the bears with their cheerful words, which were put charmingly in their mouthes, the gorgeous photos and especially THE RIGHT BIG BEAR HUG.

Thanks you!

Dear Pat and Mervi
The playfighting between Polar Bears is an important part of their relationship.
In the wild the bears learn this from their mother and use it to select a mate and introduce themselves if they meet a strange bear.
It is especially important to learn how to disengage from the fight and chill out afterwards. The big enclosures at YWP allow this.

Dear Pat and Mervi!
I too am very glad that the wrestling scenes are only playful exhibition matches and not meant to be serious! The subtitles to the pictures are very humorous and fit perfectly to the wrestling – “Krawalltüten” – “riot bags”. Thank you for the film-like show shown and described.
The white bucket has certainly seen better days, but will probably ensure that Hamish and the other boys don’t get bored for a while yet….
Fortunately, Hamish’s white nose proves that he can also be white as a polar bear when he wants to and weather conditions allow.
I hope there will still be snow in Yorkshire this winter!

Hugs

Dear Mervi,
dear Pat,

Hamish and Luka are truly two giants and don’t give away a point in their wrestling. Their brown outfit comes from the muddy ground in their enclosures. How great would they look if the match was in the snow!

Pat, your photo series at the wrestling is great, the only thing missing is the cloud of white breath coming out of their big nostrils.

Mervi, you have described the fight scenes again great and thank goodness we know that the two only playfully wrestle with each other, because really serious it is only when fighting for a female of which they are kept away, otherwise the peace in the boy group would be over quickly.

Thanks for the nice photo report and best regards!

Liebe Mervi,
liebe Pat,

Hamish und Luka sind wirklich zwei Giganten und verschenken keinen Punkt bei ihrem Wrestling. Ihr braunes Outfit stammt von dem matschigen Untergrund in ihren Gehegen. Wie toll sähen sie aus, wenn der Kampf im Schnee stattfinden würde!

Pat, deine Fotoserie beim Wrestling ist super, fehlr nur noch die weiße Atemwolke aus ihren großen Nasenlöchern.

Mervi, du hast die Kampfszenen wieder prima beschrieben und gottlob wissen wir, dass die beiden nur spielerisch miteinander raufen, denn richtig ernsthaft wird es nur beim Kampf um ein Weibchen von denen man sie wohlweislich fernhält, sonst wäre der Friede in in der Boygroup schnell vorbei.

Vieken Dank für den schönen Fotobericht und liebe Grüße!
