I guess you all know by now that Frimas and Wilbär have become parents. As far as I know both the mama and the baby are doing fine.
Congratulations, Herr Wilbär!
Why do you look so tired?
Maybe you were too excited about the happy family news?
I wish you sweet dreams – maybe you’re dreaming of your little cubbie …
This brownie is amazingly alert although he should be hibernating. 🙂
After all the excercises a bear needs a decent meal! Where are the servants when you need them?
Mr Lion looks fantastic in this dream like photo.
The arctic foxes are now dressed in their white costume.
The Christmas will certainly is always white for them! 🙂
Some more whiteness for you
Cheetah in the jungle
The lynx were taking a walk ‘upstairs’
The wolf puppies are no puppies anymore so I don’t know if these are parents and their cubs or only cubs … 🙂
This beauty is one of my absolute favourites in Nuenen. Unfortunately I don’t know the name.
This gorgeous reindeer was perhaps waiting for an invitation from Santa Claus.
Finally I want to show a funny photo of Wilbär taken by Anders Björklund on his third birthday in Orsa.


















Dear Hans & Mervi
Fantastic photos of the animals
in the Nuenen Zoo! I hope, all will
go well with Wilbärles baby. Frimas
is such a well experienced mother,
that I have no real sorrows about.
The wolfs, the lynx & the little
foxes are so adorable, and so is
the brown bear & the lion!
Greetings
Chris
Vielen Dank für den Spaziergang durch den Zoo Nuenen! Meine besten Wünsche begleiten vorallem Wilbär, Firma und deren Nachwuchs ❣🐻❄️🐻❄️🐻❄️💝
Dear Mervi and Hans!
These are wonderful photos from Nuenen, which make me want to visit this zoo too. The polar bears are of course out of competition, especially now that there is another cub – congratulations to Frimas and Wilbär! – but the zoo has many other wonderful animals that are definitely worth a visit and they have been perfectly staged.
My favourite is the bear who does yoga despite being tired and then waits for the service…
Thank you very much for this lovely report!
Hugs

Thank you for this nice update on our new polar bear cub’s family. The zoo is so lovely. The arctic foxes in your photos are especially cute. I always enjoy visiting the owl tunnel next to the polar bears, it is one of a kind. Best wishes for Frimas and Wilbär and the new little one. I am planning a trip already to see them all in the spring.
