Five Sisters Zoo-Circus Bear Appeal We did it! Until arriving at the zoo, they had never been able to act or live like bears.

After nearly 8 months of fundraising we managed to raise nearly £80,000 and build a brand new state of the art bear enclosure for the 3 ex circus bears, who for the past 20 years had endured many hardships travelling round Europe as part of a circus. Having worked with them for a year to help with stress, trauma and steriotypes associated with living in small confined spaces, the bears have not on

ly shown the first signs of acting naturally, but have hibernated this winter! They are a huge cost to the Zoo, so your ongoing support is greatly appreciated and any monies donated will help with their upkeep.

Can you believe it was four years ago today, that we got our first proper glimpse of the bears as they emerged from the den area after arriving just before midnight on the 29th March 2012? What a privilege to have been able to witness their gradual rehabilitation and recovery. Carmen, Peggy & Suzy are now awake following their 4 successful hibernation.... a massive thank you to our mentor Else Poulsen for her amazing advise, support and most importantly friendship. We also have the most amazing supporters and again a huge thank you to everyone who has helped the bears in any way - we have 3 healthy, content bears.

Good morning Peggy! She will be thinking that Autumn's coming it's that cold today!

Hello Peggy!

Lovely to catch a glimpse of Peggy Bear on Saturday when she came out briefly to stretch her legs... didn't stay out for long thought - she probably knew the freezing cold winds and snow were on their way! She's looking well, her coat is in great condition and she's still carrying excess weight to see her through the rest of her hibernation.

Suzy loves her log - it comes in useful for all kind of things...like resting her tired head on!
