Prancing On Ice! Woburn's Bears Go Ice Skating

Bears at Woburn Safari Park in Bedfordshire have been enjoying the recent cold snap in the U.K. by indulging in a spot of ursine ice skating. “During our recent cold snap, the frosty temperatures caused the lake in the North American black bear enclosure to freeze over, prompting Mum Phoenix and her four yearlings to venture out and explore!” “Each of the bears had a unique reaction to the ice. Some were baffled, cautiously navigating the slippery surface with their noses and paws, while others seemed to revel in the novel experience, rolling around and embracing the new sensation.” If the bears carry on like this they could end up as the stars of Dancing On Ice!
