21.1.2024 – Photos by Arkadi Laptenko and Sergej Iltjakov
The polar bear sisters Belka and Strelka are almost always on the run so it’s not so easy to catch them together in a photo. However, this time they both appear in each and every photo!
Good morning, dear Sis!
Oh, look – we have a feathered visitor!
Have you any ideas of what we could do today?
I know, we arrange a race on the steps!
Oh bear, we seem to be running on opposite directions …
I think we must run downwards ….
… or was it upwards ….
Whatever, it’s great fun to run on our snowy steps ….
….. and we are both winners of the race! 🙂
Where did my sister go?
I’m right here!
If these are not happy faces I don’t not what are!
Many people claim polar bears have no facial expressions but I really don’t agree!
Let me tell you a secret or two …
We are best friends!
A polar bear polka is a perfect ‘finale’ of this article – don’t you agree?
💓😍💓
Kaum zu glauben, dass es mal zwei kleine Pelkugeln waren.
Aber die Zwillinge verstehen sich gut und das Wetter ist
eisbärisch in Sibirien… 🙂
natürlich sollte es “Pelzkugeln” heißen… 😉
Dear Mervi,
Those are great photos and they put a smile on my face too. How good it is for the two of them in their new enclosure and the snow is their element anyway.
Thanks for your funny comments and thanks to Arkadi and Segej for the great photos!

Dear Arkady, Sergey and Mervi!
This humorous report and the heart-warming photos are a very welcome ray of light in these gloomy days! We can’t get enough of good news at the moment!
Thank you very much!
It’s just great that the two beauties are getting on so well and can enjoy their wonderful enclosure to the full together in suitable polar bear weather.
The happy dance at the end is a wonderful finale!
Hugs
Anke
Es freut mich sehr, dass Belka und Strelka, die beiden Pelzkugeln, ein Hrrz und eine Seele sind und den Schnee gemeinsam spielend genießen!!❄🐻❄️🐻❄️❄😊
