Headline: RAW VIDEO: Prancing On Ice! Woburn's Bears Go Ice Skating
Caption: Bears at Woburn Safari Park in Bedfordshire have been enjoying the recent cold snap in the U.K. by indulging in a spot of ursine ice skating. A spokesperson for the park said: “During our recent cold snap, the frosty temperatures caused the lake in the North American black bear enclosure to freeze over, prompting Mum Phoenix and her four yearlings to venture out and explore! “Each of the bears had a unique reaction to the ice. Some were baffled, cautiously navigating the slippery surface with their noses and paws, while others seemed to revel in the novel experience, rolling around and embracing the new sensation. “The frozen lake also provided an opportunity for some playful sparring as the young bears took advantage of their opponents' unsteady footing on the icy terrain. The freezing weather recently has posed some challenging conditions for us all, but it’s nice to know that it hasn’t stopped the bears having fun!”
