26.10.2025 – Photos by Pat Waldron and Marko Junttila
Terve! Hello! It’s your Sisu sending you his best Autumn greetings. As you can see I still have the ‘logo’ on my back. I think it’s good because it makes it easier for you to recognize me.
I have been together with Hamish but I have no photos of us two together. Well, here’s one of me instead … 🙂
The weather is getting rather chilly but the Lake Polar Bear is still warm – with polar bear measures!
I think i’m a very skilful diver even if I say so myself.
Just watch and admire!
After a nice diving and swimming hour I usually take a walk.
The colours in the nature are turning into ‘ruska’ colours. (Ruska in Finnish means the time in the Autumn when the leaves are glowing in all possible colours).
Our enclosures are big so the long walk makes me tired.
I’m waiting for the Winter with hopefully lots of snow.
While I’m waiting I’m going to have sweet white dreams!
This is what my dreams will look like. The photos were taken in Ranua just before my move to Yorkshire.















Dear Pat and Marko!
The handsome Viking Sisu looks great and seems quite content with the current autumn weather. But when you see the photos of him enjoying real winter with snow and ice before his move, you can understand that he is looking forward to winter.
As far as I’m concerned, Father Frost can take his time…
Hugs

Dear Pat and Marco!
Thank you for the wonderful pictures of Sisu.
He looks very nice and he is prepared for the winter.
Hugs

What a gorgeous bear Sisu is!
Its the question, if he will
see as much snow as in Ranua
in his new home in Yorkshire?
Vielen Dank für die schönen Fotogrüße von Sisu, mit der so erfreulichen Nachricht, dass er mit Hamish zusammen ist!!👍🐻❄️🐻❄️😊
Sisu wirkt sehr entspannt und er genießt wohl die sonnigen Momente, die der Herbst mit sich bringt!
Dass Sisu von einem Winter träumt, wie er ihn als junger Eisbär erleben konnte, kann ich mir gut vorstellen…Vielleicht geht sein Traum so ein kleines Bisschen in Erfüllung…😉❄❄❄🐻❄️❄❄❄🐻❄️❄❄❄✊
