Mateo & Rina
Meet the neighbours
Perched at the highest point of the Reserve, Bear Lodge offers the best view of our spectacled bear pair, Mateo & Rina. What Rina lacks in size she certainly makes up with a big attitude! Mateo arrived at Port Lympne Reserve in August 2023. At only 3 years old he is still a youngster and is learning a lot from Rina while he explores his new home.
