Our European brown bears at ZSL Whipsnade Zoo have been captured on camera playfully celebrating the end of winter - in new footage taken by keepers.
The three sisters - Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty and Snow White - were filmed splashing joyfully in the pond of their wooded home for the first time since beginning their long snooze last November, play-fighting and chasing each other in the sun.
Visitors over February half-term could very well catch them on another of their playful bursts, which really is an amazing sight to see.
