A two-year-old polar bear named Pixel has arrived at a wildlife park in Yorkshire to join England 's only other polar bear . Victor , a 16-year-old , half-tonne bear who has lived at the Yorkshire Wildlife Park in Doncaster since August has now been joined by younger male Pixel . The park said Pixel is 14 years younger and a third of the size of his new compound-mate . Pixel ( pictured ) a two-year-old polar bear from a zoo just outside Eindhoven in the Netherlands has arrived at the Yorkshire Wildlife Park in Doncaster , where he joins resident 16-year-old polar bear Victor . On Monday , Pixel was transported in a specialist lorry to Rotterdam for the overnight ferry trip to Hull . Once Pixel is settled the park plans to introduce him to Victor as soon as possible . Pixel soon made himself at home in his enclosure and immediately began exploring his new surroundings . 'Male polar bears will leave their mothers at approximately two years old , ' said Animal Development Manager Simon Marsh . 'This means it is quite natural for Pixel to wander and find other males to hang around with . 'Pixel is very playful and finds everything interesting and will be sure to keep Victor and the visitors entertained . ' The park said Pixel , who may one day be part of the European Breeding Programme , was brought to YWP from a zoo outside Eindhoven in the Netherlands in an operation this week . Pixel arrived at the park yesterday morning ( pictured ) before being released in the polar enclosure . Polar bears are a species that are increasingly being threatened in their native habitat . On Monday he was transported in a specialist lorry to Rotterdam for the overnight ferry trip to Hull , arriving at the South Yorkshire park on yesterday morning . Mr Marsh said Victor , who weighs 480kg , gave a roar when he realised there was an new arrival at Project Polar , the park 's purpose-built 10 acre polar bear reserve . He said : 'Victor was immediately on his guard when he realised another polar bear was there . But after a roar or two he settled down . Once released in the enclosure Pixel immediately took a dip following his long journey from the Netherlands . To his obvious delight the polar bear caught a fish in the large pond within his enclosure . 'Once Pixel is settled in the plan will be to introduce them together as soon as possible . Pixel is going to look so small compared to big old Victor . ' Mr Marsh added : 'Polar bears are an iconic species that are increasingly threatened in their native habitat and we need to fight their cause . 'Their native sea ice is disappearing due to climate change but we still have a chance to do something about it and at Project Polar we can share with visitors how they can help . 'It is also vital that we understand how to care for these bears appropriately in captivity and provide for their needs . 'The initial research into Victor has been extremely encouraging and Pixel 's arrival is a bonus . ' Pixel appears very pleased with himself as he returns his catch to the bank before eating it . Pixel is the newest arrival at Project Polar , the park 's purpose-built 10 acre polar bear reserve .
Two-year-old Pixel the polar bear has arrived at the Yorkshire Wildlife Park . The cub was born on December 22 and is now being cared for by a team of zookeepers who are also caring for her mother in captivity.
