The four young bears, Harvard, Maple, Colorado, and Aspen, enjoyed riding on the pedalos at Woburn Safari Park in Befordshire.
A lucky group of black bears were treated to a pedalo ride after a lake formed in their enclosure. After heavy rain created a mini lake in their 13-acre reserve, keepers at Woburn Safari Park decided to float a swan pedalo on the water. According to Tommy Babington, deputy head of the carnivore section at the park in Bedfordshire, the bears were 'immediately intrigued' by their new neighbour and 'wasted no time in investigating' it.
'It was great fun for visitors to seeing them climb on board, and we love devising new ways to provide food, scent and habitat enrichment that stimulates their natural foraging behaviours,' he said. 'Bears are naturally very curious animals, and keepers will encourage this with all kinds of enrichment through their habitat as this keeps their minds and bodies active.
