Wardens will first spend some time assessing whether the two bears can be safely introduced, with Brodie expected to stay for between six months and one year.
“It is important that he settles into his new home before he can meet the other polar bears,” Dr MacDonald said.
“Any initial introduction will take place via a wire mesh to ensure all the bears are safe and relaxed.”
Bex Brown, the park’s head of carnivores, said she is pleased how the polar bear is settling into his new surroundings.
” It will be quite a change for Brodie, who has been on his own for a while and before that was just with his mother,” she said.
“He will have to learn a whole new set of polar bear social skills as he gets to know the older adult bears here.”
