Otis’ October Outfit

10.10.2024 – Photos by Hans Muskens

When Otis woke up one morning in October he decided he needed a ‘new look’. Nothing wrong with white but Otis thought a darker shade would be more becoming during the Autumn season.

Mama, I think I’m going to dye my fur today.

I thought a darker shade of off white would be just right.

After rolling in the mud and on the grass Otis’ fur certainly looked VERY off white.

He presented himself to the visitors by stepping on the catwalk …

…. sorry, he was, of course, stepping on the bearwalk!

Hmm, is Otis so dark now that Frimas doesn’t recognize him? 🙂

There’s a cute little lynx kitten in the Eindhoven Zoo now.

The mama and the baby are lovely!

This brownie seems to be rehearsing for the hibernation. 🙂 So far the sun rays are warming his belly so nicely.

We are used to see Wilbär lying by the pool but this time he had actually jumped in the water!

Wilbär can be quite playful when he feels like it.

Maybe Otis wanted to get back to the white fashion because he took a swimming tour.

Dear Otis! No matter what colour your fur is – you’re cuter than cute. Always!

  1. Dear Hans,
    dear Mervi,

    Otis’ outfit is adorable with both white and grey fur, he is a sweet rascal and enchants his bear parents as well as all visitors.
    Thank you both for the great photos and the lovely text!

    With best regards
    Britta-Gudrun

  2. Ja, egal welche Fellfarbe Otis trägt, er ist und bleibt einfach ein bezaubernder kleiner Eisbär!!❣🐻‍❄️👌
    Und Frimas liebt ihren Jungen sowieso!!🐻‍❄️🐻‍❄️💝
    Besonders toll finde ich Papa Wilbär mal so aktiv zu sehen, so, wie er als junger Bär auch gewesen ist….!!🐻‍❄️👍
    Hoffentlich können die Tiere im Eindhoven Zoo noch weitere sonnige Herbsttage genießen, so wie es der kleine Luchs mit seiner Mama und der Braunbär ganz offensichtlich tun…🍂🍁🍂🌤

  3. Dear Hans!
    Thank you for this nice update from Eindhoven Zoo!
    Otis really looks good in any fur colour and is a little heartbreaker, especially at this age. I particularly like the photo of him standing upright and looking especially cute.
    Frimas and Wilbär too are having a good time and the pretty lynxes and the relaxed brown bear, who is letting the sun shine on his belly, are also a joy.

    Hugs
    Anke

  4. Dear Hans!
    Otis is a lovely child. The lynxes are beautiful.
    It is great to see Wilbär at playing.
    Hugs
    Ludmila

  5. Thank you very much dear Hans and Mervi.
    Best wishes to Otis, Frimas, Wilbaer and the other animals in the Eindhoven Zoo.
