It’s not just humans who have suffered this summer! Victor the 1,366lb polar bear has undergone 50 allergy tests for suspected hayfever

It is not just hay fever sufferers who have struggled with pollen this summer – two of the polar bears at Yorkshire Wildlife Park have been struggling too.

A team of three vets, a nurse, three dermatologists and five more park staff were on hand when 1,366 pound (620kg) Victor needed to be given an allergy test.

Such was the bear's bulk, the veterinary team asked the accompanying photographer to help manoeuvre Victor into a comfortable position after he had been anaesthetised.
