26.12.2024 – Photos by Arkadi Laptenko and Sergej Iltjakov
It looks like the snow has come to stay in Novosibirsk which, of course, makes our polar bear friends Gerda, Kai, Belka and Strelka very happy.
The twin girls loved their enclosure even without snow but now the white stuff has made their home perfect.
You can taste the snow …
… you can wade in it ….
… you can have a nap on it ….
Naturally, rolling in the soft snow is a great pleasure ….
… and shared pleasure is doubled pleasure!
We are the dancing queens!
We’ve got rhytm!
Mama Gerda is as happy about the snow as her kids.
Oh bear, I feel like a cubbie again!
The stairs are quite slippery so I must be careful.
An identified flying object …. 🙂
Kai thought it was a perfect morning when he came out and saw the snow.
We polar bears don’t need any jewels. Some snow in my nose is much more elegant than boring diamond ear rings and things like that! I’m sure you agree!
My fur is a mess! When this photo session is over I’m going to have a nice roll in the snow!
But first I’m having a meditation hour!
They say the snow doesn’t smell of anything but it does!
Gerda: Let it snow! We love it!
Finally a couple of photos of Shauna who’s doing fine in the Izhevsk Zoo.
She has both toys and snow! Perfect!
Dear Mervi,
The twins are doing great and what does a polar bear want? Snow of course, lots of snow!
They are enjoying it in every way and their parents are also having a lot of fun in the white splendour.
Best wishes
Britta-Gudrun
Diese liebe Familie macht imkmer wieder Freude! 💓😘👍

Dear Arkadi, Sergej and Mervi!
Here you can clearly see how much snow contributes to the polar bears’ well-being!
I especially liked the photos of Belka and Strelka rolling around in the snow and ‘dancing’ with each other. Gerda and Kai are also happy about the white splendour and look very content. And it was great to learn something new about Shauna! She looks wonderful.
Thank you for showing!
Hugs

Mit etwas SCHNEE sieht die Welt gleich viel schöner aus, ganz besonders aber für die EISBÄREN ….❄🐻❄️❄🐻❄️❄🐻❄️❄🐻❄️❄🐻❄️❄
Möge die weiße Pracht, den Eisbären in den Zoos und auch in der freien Natue FREUDE bereiten, so, wie die Fotogrüße von Gerda,Belka und Strelka, Kai und Shauna es zeigen. ❄❄❄❄❄💝
