Bears at Woburn Safari Park in Bedfordshire have taken to the water in a pedalo boat. Like most of us, the curious mammals had found the wet March (2024) weather in the U.K. had put a dampener on their fun so keepers decided to give them a new toy to play with - a swan pedalo. Keepers hoped the bears would find the swan boat an interesting addition to their 13-acre woodland reserve and so they were delighted to see the four younger cubs head straight over to investigate their new swan ‘friend’. The bears are named Harvard, Maple, Colorado and Aspen for their North American origins in the wild. Bears are naturally very curious animals, and so the animals didn’t waste much time in working out they could climb aboard!
