A family of polar bears has arrived at a zoo on the edge of the Peak District. The polar bear mother and her twin cubs will be housed in a specially-designed five-acre habitat which has been created at Peak Wildlife Park, in Winkhill, just over an hour's drive from Nottingham.
The polar animals arrived in the UK from Orsa Rovdjurspark (Orsa Predator Park) in Sweden, following the Scandinavian park's closure, reports Derbyshire Live. The cubs, Nanook and Noori, are 19 months old and were born at Orsa in November 2021.
Their mum, Hope, was born in Antibes, France, in 2014. The trio is already at Peak Wildlife Park but is not due to go on show to the public until August, with an exact date yet to be confirmed.
