4.11.2024 – Photos by Arkadi Laptenko, Sergej Iltjakov
The first snow has fallen in Novosibirsk but I want to show you some nice photos from the Autumn before we open the door to the Winter world.
Time to start a new day!
We were used to see quite white polar bears when the twins lived in with their mother but now they seem to prefer a darker shade of white. 🙂
We will change to the Winter fur when the snow comes to sta
While waiting for the real Winter Belka and Strelka are keeping themselves busy – in different ways. 🙂
The green grass isn’t so green anymore and the flowers are preparing themselves for a flower kind of ‘hibernation’. One of the girls wants to admire them as long as it’s possible.
Dear sister, you’re a real lazy potato! We have such exciting things here and you just want to lie there.
Oh bear, we have not only a hammock but we even have an ‘upstairs bed’!
I wonder if I can make it to the top ….
… hmm, it takes some planning.
Here we go!
Wow! I made it! I made it!
Do I hear an applause from the visitors?
Please, feel free to clap your hands loud and clear!
Thank you so much! I know you’re very impressed by my climbing skils.
Belka and Strelka sure are beautiful girl polars.
Unlike their daughters mama Gerda and papa Kai are wearing the traditional white outfits. 🙂

Thank you for watching! We’ll be back soon – maybe with very white photos ….
Weiterhin die besten Wünsche für alle Vier! 🥰💓👍

Dear Mervi,
Watching the two of them climbing is great fun.
At last they’ve been able to swap the dreary concrete desert for this lovely enclosure where they can really keep themselves occupied.
Unfortunately, the parents have to stay in the desolate stone desert….
A maximum-joy to watch and read.
Simply LOVE the first pic and the portraits of JELKA and STRELKA are so “awwwwwww……”!
Thank you ALL/e so much who you were involved in this gorgeous report in one or another way!
My ‘wild guess’ (haha) is that the text is again from skilled sub-/above-title-createrIN Mervi! 🙂
Dear Mervi, Arkadi and Sergej!
It’s a pleasure to see the two young polar bear ladies playing in their imaginatively designed enclosure. It is obvious that they are well and in good spirits. The pictures are wonderful and both bears are beautiful in every colour.
The difference to Gerda and Kai’s enclosure is striking and I hope that they too will be able to enjoy a more beautiful living environment. But the enclosure isn’t everything and the affectionate carers have so far managed to compensate for the shortcomings by keeping them occupied with toys and selected treats.
Hugs

Thank you very much dear Mervi, Arkadi and Sergej.
Best wishes to Kai, Gerda, Belka and Strelka.
Applaus für Belka und Strelka, die sich nun mehr und mehr in ihrer neuen Situation eingelebt haben und die Chancen, die die neue Anlage ihnen
bietet zu nutzen wissen…🐻❄️🐻❄️👏
All’ meine guten Wünsche für die Zwillinge,sowie für Gerda und Kai…🐻❄️🐻❄️🐻❄️🐻❄️😊
