More snow fun with Belka and Strelka

The polar bear sisters Belka and Strelka in Novosibirsk have learned how to play with their toys even when the enclosure is covered with snow.

Snow gives the wrestling sessions a totally new dimension. 🙂

Movin a ball from A to B isn’t any challenge at all!

Now I only have to move myself!

Using the slippery steps is no problem either.

She’s so lovely holding the ball as if it was a teddybear.

Bringing the ball to the top of the stairs is always worth an applause!

You must admit I have a very cute boomsie! Almost as cute as my face – what do you think?

  1. Der sibirische Winter ist ideal für die Eisbären.
    Hier haben sie wenigstens Schnee und Eis & Frost.
    Danke für die Fotolieferung! 🙂

  2. Dear Arkadi and dear Sergej!
    The two polar bear girls Belka and Strelka are simply adorable and your pictures are heart-warming!
    It’s so nice to see them playing in the snow and the red ball suits them well. I’m glad they are doing so well!

    Hugs

  3. Belka und Strelka sind einfach rundum schön!!🐻‍❄️🐻‍❄️👌 Und besonders schön finde ich es, dass sie wieder so verspielt und zufrieden sind, wie sie es in der Obhut von Gerda waren.
    Zwei glückliche Eisbärenkinder in ihrem Element….❄🐻‍❄️❄🐻‍❄️👍
