Hamish, the first polar bear born in the UK for 25 years, enjoys the snow at the Royal Zoological Society of Scotland’s Highland Wildlife Park in Kincraig.

The wildlife conservation charity’s cold weather adapted and native animals have been taking the frosty conditions in their stride at their home in the Cairngorms National Park.

He was last weighed at the end of summer 2019 and tipped the scales at 340 kilograms.
