Walker, a 23 month old polar bear who arrived from Hollands Rhenen Zoo two weeks ago, experiences snow for the first time in his 4 acre enclosure at the Highland Wildlife Park in Kingussie, Scotland November 25, 2010. Britain shivered in sub-zero temperatures on Thursday as snow fell unseasonably early, with more wintry weather on the way. Up to 10cm (4in) of snow settled in northern Scotland and north-east England overnight, the earliest major snowfall in 17 years. REUTERS/Russell Cheyne (BRITAIN - Tags: ENVIRONMENT ANIMALS)

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we witness an adorable moment of pure wonder and excitement as Walker, a 23-month-old polar bear, encounters snow for the very first time. Having recently arrived from Hollands Rhenen Zoo just two weeks ago, Walker finds himself in his expansive 4-acre enclosure at the Highland Wildlife Park in Kingussie, Scotland. Taken on November 25th, 2010, this snapshot perfectly captures Britain's unseasonably early snowfall that day. As sub-zero temperatures grip the nation and more wintry weather looms ahead, Walker seems oblivious to the chill as he playfully explores his newfound winter wonderland. The image showcases a picturesque scene with up to 10cm (4in) of snow blanketing northern Scotland and north-east England overnight - a rare occurrence even for these regions. The sight of fluffy white flakes falling delicately from above has transformed Walker's surroundings into a magical paradise. Photographed by Russell Cheyne for Reuters Images, this heartwarming picture is a testament to nature's ability to bring joy and fascination even amidst freezing conditions. It serves as a reminder of the resilience and adaptability of animals like Walker who find delight in every new experience life presents them
