Export Planned for Hamish; Plans to Breed Again from Victoria: Move imminent for wildlife park's popular polar bear The first polar bear cub born in the UK this century is expected to soon be leaving his Highland home. The cub shares a large enclosure with his mother Victoria but is now approaching the age when they would separate naturally in the wild. The move will also allow 23-year-old Victoria to breed again next year and produce another cub, possibly for the last time due to her age. David Field, new chief executive of the Royal Zoological Society of Scotland, which runs the wildlife park, said Hamish will go to a collection elsewhere in Europe where he can mix with other males. “Victoria’s biological clock is ticking and the experts who run the polar bear breeding programme would want her to breed once again.”

The article about Hamish suggests that a home could be found for him within the UK. Correct me if I’m wrong but surely that means there is a possibility he could be on his way to Yorkshire.
I was under the impression due to the signs at Yorkshire that Rasputin will move over to project polar once his quarantine period is over. Then it would possibly open up a gap for Hamish unless there is a secret polar bear enclosure being built elsewhere in the U.K.
Have you forgotten about the infamous bears of the world, being built at Chester got to be open soon, as the source for that gem was such a re liable person.
