The oldest polar bear in the UK has celebrated her birthday with a selection of presents.
Jimmy's Farm and Wildlife Park is marking the milestone birthday of Ewa the polar bear, who has turned 20 today.
This has made her the oldest polar bear in the UK, with the species typically living between 15 and 18 years.

Ewa arrived at the wildlife park in October 2023, after being rescued from Sweden's Orsa Predator Park, which was closed after a sale to developers.
CEO Jimmy Doherty said: "Celebrating Ewa's 20th birthday is incredibly special. It reflects not only her resilience but the care and passion that go into everything we do here.
"Watching her flourish reminds us why rescue work matters - she still had life left to live and giving her that second chance has been a privilege."

For her birthday, Ewa has been opening presents which are scent-filled as well as eating an ice cake which has been packed with fish and fruit.
Since moving from Sweden, Ewa now lives alongside Flocke and Tala in Europe's largest polar bear reserve, spanning more than 16 acres.

Park director said: "Ewa is an elderly bear, yet she's thriving here in Europe's largest polar bear reserve. In the wild, polar bears typically live to around 15-18 years, so she has already surpassed the natural life expectancy of her species. We're honoured to have her as part of our family and proud of everything she teaches us about resilience and hope for polar bears everywhere."
The park also welcomed three big cats, which are now enjoying a new enclosure. Jimmy's Farm is now home to Asiatic lions Kamal and Rani, as well as Amur tiger Kalinka.
