Flocke’s Gang is doing fine

Most of us have followed Flocke ever since she was a little cubbie in Nuremberg. Now she’s a mother and even a grandmother because her daughter Hope has twin girls!

It’s amazing how this hand raised polar bear has been and still is such a good mama. She had to move from Antibes but was lucky to find a home in the Yorkshire Wildlife Park where the family is still staying.

Flocke’s daughter Tala is still living with her mother. The two beautiful ladies are getting along fine.

Tala is a real action girl. I wonder what she’s planning now.

Even a turbo girl likes to take a break on the green grass.

The boys Indiana and Yuma are living together with the big boys Hamish, Luka, Nobby and Sisu. They don’t share the enclosures all the time but the rangers decide who will be with whom.

I can’t tell who’s Indie and who’s Yuma – maybe the readers can?

Indie or Yuma? That’s the question! 🙂

I have a nice blue barrel ….

…. but I’m a bit ashamed to show it to you because it doesn’t look so nice anymore. It’s not my fault! They say this is ‘polar bear proof’, but this barrel must be made for chickens – not for strong polar bears.

Oh, now I found a new barrel!

I start the treatment by throwing it into water ….
