Otis the explorer

24.6.2024 – Photos by Hans Muskens

Otis is a lovely and kind polar bear baby and gentle good morning wishes to mama Frimas are always on the daily schedule.

However, soon the little boy gets curious about things around him. What’s that smell?

It seems to be coming from our ‘lake’. I must hurry and find out!

You must admit there’s something Usain Bolt stylish about my running style! 🙂

The smell is getting stronger …… and stronger …

… but I’d better approach it very carefully.

Oh bear, look what I found. Hmm, I wonder if it’s eatable … It doesn’t look very delicious so I think I leave it here.

Of course, it’s important for a little boy to have some quality time with mama, too!

Don’t we look beautiful?

Papa Wilbär had found something in the water.

The enclosure is the world of a polar bear kept in a zoo but for a little cubbie it’s a big, big world.

Every day there’s something new to be found and experienced.

Oh my, what a day it’s been! Now I have to digest everything I’ve seen and learnt today!

  1. He’s such an adorable little bear. A chubby little soul makes you want to pick him up and give him a cuddle. These beautiful animals must be saved. x

  2. Hallo Hans,
    Oti ist ein herziges und neugieriges Bärchen!
    Viele Dank für die tollen Fotos!

  3. Dear Hans!
    Otis really is a concentrated load of cuteness and I can literally see the visitors melting away in front of the enclosure in my mind’s eye… He’s cuddly and I can understand everyone who expresses this wish. However, it wouldn’t be wise to do so in the presence of Frimas…
    Thank you for the enchanting pictures!

    Hugs
    Anke

  4. Dear Hans!

  5. Bezaubernd! kann man da nur sagen.
    Vor allem die letzten 5 Fotos
    lassen einen komplett dahinschmelzen . . .
