The Scotsman

Five Sisters Zoo welcomes Baloo the Asiatic Black Bear  Five Sisters Zoo are delighted to welcome a new arrival this week. Baloo, the Asiatic Black Bear who was due to become the companion of Yampil, has arrived at Five Sisters Zoo to his new home in the one-of-a-kind Asiatic Black Bear enclosure, built through the support of fans worldwide after the zoo welcomed Yampil in January of this year. While losing Yampil in July was devastating for the team at Five Sisters Zoo and all who had heard his story and supported his rescue, it had always been the plan to welcome Baloo as a companion for Yampil and everyone is excited to see Baloo settle into his new home in Scotland.
