Flocke’s and Raspi’s sons Indie and Yuma are doing fine in the Yorkshire Wildlife Park.
Indie is laughing or is he yawning in the sunshine?
Yuma
This time of the year the other polar bears are kept separated from each other because of the ‘Spring feelings’. The brother can stay together without problems.
Indie is the clean one. Yuma prefers a darker shade of pale. đ
The gulls are always around âŠ
⊠but the polar bears are accustomed to their presence.
This is Indie and his fans
Sometimes Indie likes to take a nap under a pine tree (I think it’s a pine).
Both brothers like Nobby and they were looking for him.
Dear brother, Nobby’s not here âŠ
Have you any idea where he could be?
Let’s go and try to find out!

Yuma
Maybe Yuma could smell Nobby but no polar bear in sight.
I hope the boys will soon be together with their older friend.

Knuti’s Magazine wishes all polar bears, rangers and visitors a pleasant Spring time!
Dear Pat and Mervi!
Thank you for the pictures and a lovely story. Yuma and Indie look very happy.

Vielen Dank fĂŒr die schönen FotogrĂŒĂe von Indie und Yuma!! Die beiden BrĂŒder lassen sich aufgrund des Gesichtsausdrucks und vorallem wegen der FellfĂ€rbung gut unterscheiden…đđ»ââïžđ»ââïžđ Da die EisbĂ€ren momentan nicht so gut aufeinander zu sprechen sind, was Yuma ja leider persönlich zu spĂŒren bekam, haben die beiden BrĂŒder immerhin das GlĂŒck, ihre Zeit gemeinsam und mit ihrer Fangemeinde, den Möwen, zu verbringen…đ»ââïžđ»ââïžđ
Ein Zusammentreffen mit Nobby, vielleicht auch wieder mit Luka, ist hoffentlich bald wieder möglich..đ»ââïžđ»ââïžđ»ââïžâ
Dear Pat!
Thank you for your vivid photos of those handsome male polar bears! Even though there are no females around anymore, itâs better to keep the brothers separate from the other malesâwho are also kept apart from one anotherâwhen hormones take over in the spring…
My favourite photos are the first one of Indie yawning and the one where heâs rolling around under the pine tree. Itâs a pity that Yuma has a few patches missing from his fur.
Otherwise, they both look very well and seem to be enjoying life.

Ob grau oder weiĂ, die Farben stehen den BĂ€ren.
Beide sehen sehr gut aus! đ
