Hello folks! Here we are again – your Belka and Strelka in the Novosibirsk Zoo.

Maybe you remember that we have snow even during the Summer … We loved to do gymnastics in our little Arctic Corner.

Please, don’t try to imitate me!

After all the exercises a bear needs some relaxation!

Now that the Winter is here we have fresh snow that fell from the sky. The white stuff covers all the enclosure.

We love to play in the snow although we often have to spend time finding our toys under it.

Mama often helps us when we’re treasure hunting.

The stairs can be a little slippery but we are experts in climbing stairs so it’s not a challenge for us.

After a well deserved snack it’s nice just to lie down and let my belly digest the food. 🙂

A polar bear in the snow is always a most beautiful sight – don’t you agree?

Our mama still keeps her milk bar open for us. What a great mama she is!

  4. Dear Mervi and Arkadi!
    I’m so happy for the little polar bears in Novosibirsk that they can now enjoy a real winter with lots of snow and ice!
    The pictures show impressively how much fun they have with just a little snow and how well they are doing with this amount. It’s great that they even find hidden treasures in these masses of snow. I wish this great family all the best!
    Merry Christmas!

    Hugs
    Anke
