Walker a 58 stone (368 kg) polar bear eats a salmon on his third birthday at the Highland Wildlife Park in Kincraig, Scotland December 7, 2011. Walker was born in Rhenen Zoo in Holland and came to live at the Highland Wildlife Park after his aunt, Freedom, became pregnant and needed space to retire to her cubbing den.

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we see Walker, a magnificent 58 stone polar bear, celebrating his third birthday in the most fitting way possible - devouring a delicious salmon. Taken at the Highland Wildlife Park in Kincraig, Scotland on December 7th, 2011, this image captures the raw beauty and power of nature. Walker was originally born in Rhenen Zoo in Holland but found his new home at the Highland Wildlife Park when his aunt Freedom needed space to retire with her cubs. As he enjoys his birthday feast against an icy backdrop, one can't help but be mesmerized by the sheer size and strength of this majestic predator. The photograph also hints at the harsh winter conditions that often engulf Scotland's Highlands. With winds reaching up to 70mph and snow depths exceeding 10cm on that particular day, Walker stands as a symbol of resilience amidst nature's fury. Russell Cheyne masterfully captures Walker's intense gaze as he looks directly into the camera. The contrast between his thick fur coat and the snowy surroundings creates a striking silhouette against which every detail is accentuated. This image serves as a reminder of both the vulnerability and magnificence of wildlife living in their natural habitats. It evokes feelings of awe for these incredible creatures while highlighting our responsibility to protect their environment for generations to come.
