It’s grumpy season at YWP and, as such, I can only imagine it’s a bit of a headache for the keepers moving seven bears around. The only bears sharing an enclosure on my recent visit on the 7th of February was Nobby & Hamish.
Nobby minding his own business …
… when he heard Hamish coming.

As Hamish approached, Nobby lowered his head.

Yorkshire Wildlife Park on the 5th of February: We have six male polar bears, and their hormones still run wild during breeding season, and sometimes there is a scuffle. Young Yuma got some wounds after a fight with Luka.
Luka didn’t mean any harm …
… but those bl…y hormones are playing games with me and my friends.
Sorry, Yuma! I hope we can soon be friends again!
Indie usually shares an enclosure with brother Yuma and Luka, but after their little tête-à-tête last week, he is by himself until things settle down.
