Headline: Zoo Brown Bears Come Out Of Winter Hibernation, UK

Caption: **VIDEO AVAILABLE. CONTACT INFO@COVERMG.COM TO RECEIVE** A brown bear named Sleeping Beauty and her sister have yawned and stretched their way out of their winter hibernation, just in time to greet visitors at ZSL Whipsnade Zoo, when it reopens on Monday 12 April after months of forced closure. Keepers spotted aptly-named Sleeping Beauty and her five-year-old sister Cinderella emerging from the den where they snooze their way through the colder months of the year, on Wednesday 7 April, while the Zoo’s third brown bear, Snow White, decided to stay in bed a little longer. Staff at the UK’s largest Zoo caught the special moment on camera when Sleeping Beauty and her sister came outside and took time re-acquainting themselves with the sights and smells of their large, woodland enclosure, before having some breakfast and even a bath. Team leader Graeme Williamson said: “It’s such perfect timing that Sleeping Beauty and Cinders have made their appearance just ahead of our re-opening on 12 April, as I know they are such a favourite of visitors to ZSL Whipsnade Zoo."
