The snow has melted away even in the polar bears’ enclosure in Novosibirsk but maybe there will be an Arctic Corner for the bears in due course. It’s always a nice chilly spot when the weather gets hot. Oh my, that rhymes! 🙂
After the snowy games Belka and Strelka enjoy games in the water.
They have become excellent divers.
Oh bear, the toy landed before I did!
Well, I’ll catch it anyway!
The toy is a bit worn out but it works perfectly as a diving partner! 🙂
A very artistic start of a jump into the water. 🙂
After a perfect landing there’s a wonderful reward!
A nice shower with fresh water
Between the dives a little snack is needed to give energy.
Napping and chilling is also important!
Mama Gerda is very proud of her twin girls.
Of course, even papa Kai is happy about his lovely family.
Mama, did you like my diving?
Dear child, that was perfect! Please, give mama a kiss!
Thank you for watching! We’ll be back soon!
Einfach nur liebenswert!!! 😍💓👍

How on earth can a polar bear look SO fluffy, as it is to be seen in the fist two pics here(!?) 🙂
Lots of excellent photos show the bears in motion without any camera shake (I am green with envy AND respect!).
Everything is entertaining and gives fun – as always when we are as lucky as to get news and pictures of the ZOO in NOWOSIBIRSK.
Thank you very much, dear Arkadi Laptenko, dear V. Gabova for the photos and dear Mervi for the text and the editorial efforts.
KAI looks simply gorgeous!
Dear Arkadij and V. Gabova!
What can I say? Great bears, great photos!
It’s also great to see this family enjoying life and entertaining themselves. Gerda and Kai are both magnificent and impressive polar bears and their children are all very well behaved.
The jump photos show the lust for life of the polar bears in Novosibirsk as vividly as spectacularly! And as always, pictures of a chilled and sleepy bear make me want to take a nap…
Thank you very much for showing us!
Hugs

Miriam, that’s a great title for the photos!
Yes, these colossi are real artists in the water and the two girls are beautiful, their parents are rightly proud of them!
Thank you very much dear Mervi, Arkadi and V. Gabova.
Best wishes to Kai, Gerda, Belka and Strelka.
The twins have grown a lot and
they are very playful.
Thanks for the report !
