Polar bear sisters Belka and Strelka are not the only ones enjoying the delights of Winter in the Novosibirsk Zoo. Papa Kai shows the visitors – and us – how playful even an older polar bear can be.
First some morning exercises.
Rolling in the snow keeps a polar bear fit and handsome!
When the muscles are ‘soft’ it’s time to play with a big ball.
Of course, the ball needs a thorough examination. 🙂
The ball is very big indeed but Kai has no problems with it – even when he’s lying!
What an elegant way to hold the ball!
After all playing Kai thought he deserves a nap. Happy dreams to you, Kajuscha!
Gerda is taking things easy and just enjoys walking in the whiteness.
What a lovely face and what a white fur!
A beautiful polar bear lady looks even more beautiful in the snow!
The snow is a good substitute for water!
Little snow on the nose is a perfect polar bear make-up! In my opinion Gerda beats all the two legged super models in the world!
Dear Arkadi, dear Sergej!
Kai is a great bear and he has a marvellous fur!
As playful as he is, everyone is sure to fall in love with him and he certainly has many fans, starting with his keepers…
Gerda also looks very handsome in her winter coat and they make a lovely couple!
The pictures are great and a joy to look at!
Hugs

Kai und Gerda sehen prächtig aus und sie genießen den Schnee!! 🐻❄️🐻❄️👌😊
Kai spielt, wie ein junger Eisbär !!👍🐻❄️👏😊
Schön, dass es auch dem Elternpaar gut geht und die Youngsters Ihnen nicht den Rang abnehmen.
Kai ist verspielt wie ein junger Bär und seine Lady glänzt durch Schönheit!
😍👍💓🧸!
Kai is a goodlooking bear. The picture is so nice where he takes a nap, thanks for showing us Belka and Strelka’s parents
