In case you missed it, Juno and Hudson are now polar pals 🐻‍❄️

When Juno’s Wildlife Care team began noticing some new behaviours, such as ignoring the team (and their snacks!) to check on her big brother Hudson instead, it was clear that Juno had her eye on him as her new polar pal.

After months of preparation and collaboration with the Wildlife Care and Animal Welfare teams, Juno and Hudson were introduced to each other in a shared space. The key to success? Slow and steady, with each bear having choice and control over where, how, and with whom they spend their time.

So far, both bears appear comfortable and content having the other around, and as both are still young – Juno is 8 and Hudson is 12 – we hope that this can be a companionship that lasts for years to come 🐻‍❄️ #FamilyDay
