Polar bear and her cubs settle into new Staffordshire home before meeting public for first time

A mother polar bear and her two cubs are settling into their new home at Peak Wildlife Park near Leek, Staffordshire, before meeting the public next month.

Hope and her young male cubs Nanook and Noori recently arrived from Orsa Predator Park in Sweden, which is closing down and needed to rehome them.

The bears have a specially designed space at the park, with large, natural pools and rugged terrain within the five-acre site.

Kim Wilkins, head keeper at Peak Wildlife Park, explains why visitors will not necessarily see the polar bears living in snow and ice.
