1.5.2023 – Photos by Sheila and Philip Baker
When Tala noticed her mama Flocke was holding a big piece of meat between her paws ….
…. she decided to steal the food from mama.
Hmm, I have to change my strategy.
Hey, mama – look up! There’s something strange in the sky!
Hahahaa, I’m here now ready to ‘share’ your food! What a sly fox I am! 🙂
Dear Tala, this big piece is enough for us both!
Thank you, mama but I think you need it more than I do ….
…. because you still let me enjoy a dessert at your milk bar.
Luka seems to have two ‘stalkers’ but he doesn’t seem to mind.
Now that the Indie and Yuma are so big it’s not easy to tell who’s who …
Judging from the off-white fur this is Luka anyway.
Indie or Yuma
These guys are easier to tell apart

Nobby wears a light brown Spring coat
Sisu is a dedicated follower of white fashion 🙂 The Finnish Viking has had a little battle with Nobby and had some wounds but now he’s ‘back in business’ again. This photo was taken before the battle.
Flocke and Tala send you their best greetings and promise to be back soon!
Dear Sheila and Philip! Thank you so much for these great photos! I wish you and all the animals, rangers and even visitors in the park a wonderful Spring time!

















Dear Sheila, Philip and Mervi
Thank you for this visit to YWP. I hope to be back there again later in May.
Flocke is still happy to mother Tala but we have seen with Tonja and Herths in Berlin that even without a male around Flocke will at some point want to be alone.
Flockes Kinder haben das fluffige Fell von ihrer Mama geerbt.
Indeed its difficult, to check, who is who? 😉 Die Fleisch-
bombe sieht sehr vielversprechend aus. How kind of Tala,
to let Flocke eat her meat, while she prefers the milk-
bar. The boys are getting bigger and bigger. Für den
Laien ist oft nicht zu unterscheiden, wer wer ist? 😀
Thank you Sheila & Philip for the nice photo delivery!
Dear Sheila, Philip and Mervi!
Thank you for the concentrated bear power from Yorkshire!
Fortunately, the quarrel between Flocke and Tala over the meat was settled peacefully and sensibly.
All of Flocke’s kids turned out well and I noticed their beautiful fur too.
I hope Sisu is doing well after his fight with Nobby and that his injuries have already healed.
Hugs

Dear Sheila, Philip and Mervi!
Thank you for the news from YWP. It is great that Flocke and Tala are on the good terms.
I am glad that Sisu is doing well.
Hugs

Dear Sheila, dear Philip
The ice cream bomb is really very big. And Mama Flocke knows that it would be enough for both of them. But it’s still very nice of Tala to let her mommy have the big bite.
So the dessert from the freshly tapped milk bar tastes even tastier.
It is always wonderful to see the pictures from the YWP. So many bears and everything looks happy and healthy.
Nobby’s light brown spring coat is beautiful in color.
Hugs,
Anita
Thank you very much dear Mervi, Sheila and Philip.
Best wishes to Flocke, Tala, Yuma, Indie, Nobby, Hamish, Sisu and Luka.
