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.
Feel free to be mega impressed!!
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?
Can anybear be cuter than I am?
Our mama still keeps her milk bar open for us. What a great mama she is!
Papa Kai on his throne
We have very handsome parents
This is our mama …
… and this is our papa.
But, papa, why are you showing your tongue to the visitors? Please, mind your manners!

Kai sieht wahrhaft königlich aus auf seinem Thron.
Aber warum steckt er uns die Zunge raus… ? 😉
Eisbären im Schnee, wie schön!!👌😊
Vielleicht streckt Kai deshalb die Zunge raus, weil hierzulande der Schnee als Regen runterkommt…🌧🌧🌧
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
