Berlin Zoo in October Part 1 – Brown bears

25.10.2024 – Photos by Dumba

I’ve been asking for photos of the brown bears Momoa, Lucifer and Lillebror in the Berlin Zoo and now Dumba has visited them and taken lots of great photos of the bear trio. Thank you so much for these lovely photos!

For new readers I can tell that these three bear boys came to Berlin from Orsa after the animal park there was closed.

Lillebror, Lucifer and Momoa are in the big enclosure of our belaved brown bears at KNUTi-times, right before the ‘Waldschänke’ and beside the no more existent polarbears and below the European wolves (Canadian white wolves at KNUTi-times).

There’s a mini waterfall, too.

It’s not so easy to get all three in a same photo but here are two of them swimming in the pool.

The third one is still hesitating.

Where are they going? I just jumped in ….

Well, I can swim alone as well!

Maybe it’s time for a wrestling or boxing session?

I don’t know what the name Momoa means but I know that Lillebror means ‘little brother’. I guess he’s the youngest of the bears. Lucifer certainly isn’t as evil as his name indicates! 🙂

The magpies are probably the only ones who can enter this enclosure …. at least when the bears are out!

I don’t know which bear this is but he doesn’t seem to mind the feathered company.

  1. Here is working and sharing a very quick lady (you know ‘the little Hexe’, don’t you!):

    Thank you, dear MERVI, for having taken the time (I didn’t***) to make something ‘special’ of it! Even for me myself it’s nice to see all the bear photos in a row and charmed by nice and funny subtitles/comments and even by a new information:

    I read Lillebor in all publications as name for one of the bears so far. Now YOU set these authors straight in calling him LillebRor and informed in the same time that it’s FINNISH.

    Thanks again, taking the opportunity to wish you and all your readers/watchers in ‘KM’ and ‘Die Knuipe’ a pleasant and peaceful weekend.

    Take good care of yourselves ALL/e!

    *** as it would have taken me DAYs to create something comparable . . .

  2. Dear Dumba,

    You had a great photo session with the three brownies and they were in a good mood to model for you. Above all, I’m glad that Berlin now has brown bears again, in keeping with its heraldic animal. The enclosure looks very good and water is very important for the snitch.
    So the old enclosure has found a good new use.

    Thank you for sharing and Mervi for the background information!
    Kind regards
    Britta-Gudrun

  3. Liebe Dumba!
    Danke für viele schöne Bilder der drei Schokobären. Sie sehen super aus, mit wunderbar dickem Fell und ziehen viele Besucher vor die zum Glück wiederbelebte tolle Anlage. Ich freue mich, dass dieses Gehege wohl auch in Zukunft ohne Umrandung durch meterhohe Glasscheiben bleibt und hoffe, dass dieser Trend, wenigstens für Außenanlagen, vorbei ist!

    Herzliche Grüße
    Anke

  4. Vielen Dank für die schönen Fotogrüße von den drei rundum prächtigen Braunbären, die sich im Berliner Zoo gut eingelebt haben und wie es auf den Fotos zu sehen ist, sich auf der Anlage sehr wohlfühlen!!!👍🐻🐻🐻👌😊

  5. Liebe Dumba!
    Schön, dass Du die Braunbären besucht hast. Sie sehen sehr gut aus und können sich sehr gut beschäftigen.
    Hugs
    Ludmila

    • Dear Dumba and Mervi
      Thank you for the chance to see the three rescued Orsa brown bears in Berlin Zoo.
      I wonder what plans the Zoo has for the empty Polar Bear enclosure.
