The pet sitter takes you behind the scenes.

The polar bear is an impressive predator. Males grow to almost 3.5 meters tall when standing on their hind legs and weigh around 500 kg. In Scandinavian Wildlife Park they live in the world’s best polar bear park of 26,000 m2. The park is full of hills, logs, large rocks, a huge 5,000 square meter lake and several smaller lakes. In order to keep close contact with the polar bears in the large area, they are trained to come up to the barn where the keepers can keep a close eye on them.

Our zookeeper takes you into another world… You get a first-hand experience as the polar bear is fed and trained with clickers. We train the polar bears to stand on their hind legs, sit, etc. We don’t do this for entertainment, but solely to be able to check them for health reasons. This way we can do the most common health checks without having to anesthetize them. All our polar bears know several commands, respond to their name and love to be trained.
