It has been an incredible two and a half years watching Hamish grow. He is a very playful bear who will be missed by everyone here at the park.

Hamish has made a tremendous impression on the thousands of people who visited the park since his birth and helped to highlight the threats many species face in the wild.

It is exciting to see him moving on and playing his part in the European Endangered Species Programme.

We’re sure Victoria will appreciate some peace and quiet before any next steps in the breeding programme.
