Polar Bears In ENGLAND!! With Kyle Thomas

Описание: I’ve spent years avoiding polar bears in the Arctic… Now I'm Face to Face With Them!

Thanks to wildlife advocate, conservationist, and all round great guy, ‪@kylethomas‬ , I got a behind-the-scenes look at how these incredible animals live at ‪@jimmysfarmandwildlifeparktv‬ !

And I get it. You might be wondering.. How can polar bears possibly live in the UK? And WHY are they here?

🧊 Their expansive enclosure is designed to keep them cool, active, and mentally stimulated. It's got 5 aches of shaded woodland as well as two tundra-like space, large shaded dens, 3 deep pools, environmental enrichment and cool inside area. It's also the largest polar bear sanctuary in Europe.
🌡️ And incredibly, on the day we filmed, it was hotter in Hudson Bay (one of their wild Arctic homes) than it was here in Suffolk. Even in this British heatwave.
🌏 Hudson Bay proudly holds the title of “the polar bear capital of the world,” with its average temperature resting at a relatively warm 26°C. To put it in perspective, the average temperature in Suffolk is 22°C, making it a tad cooler by comparison.

🐾 Of the four polar bears:
• One was rescued from a closing down zoo in Sweden
• The other three are part of the European Endangered Species Programme (EEP), helping safeguard the future of the species

None of them can be returned to the wild for a number of reasons but here, they’re healthy and safe. They are cared for by a passionate team.

Seeing them up close was humbling.
