On November 27th 2024, Sznyezsana, the 11 year old female polar bear of the Nyíregyháa Zoo in Hungary, gave birth to two healthy cubs. Since we have placed cameras in the polar bear caves, we were able to capture the birth of the two polar bears and their development in the past 11 weeks.

We kept the news a secret, because the cubs were very underdeveloped at birth and the first three months are critical in their survival. By now, they are very active in their cave and we hope they will continue to develop so they can leave the cave with their mother in the next 1-2 weeks, then our visitors can view them as well.

In the meantime, we have created a two minute compilation video of the moment of their birth, until they are 11 weeks old. Every day, we plan to post a few minutes of the previous day’s camera images so that those interested can follow the development of the polar bear cubs day by day.

  1. Dear Mervi!
    Thank you for the wonderful news. Ich wünsche Mutter und den Babys alles Gute.
    Ist der Vater Fiete?
    Hugs
    Ludmila

  2. Llyod ist wohl der Vater der Zwillinge, da Fiete ja nicht züchten soll..
    Snezhana und ihrem Nachwuchs wünsche ich alles GUTE!! 🐻‍❄️🐻‍❄️🐻‍❄️💝
    Das gilt auch für die beiden Eisbären, von denen wohl einer über kurz oder lang den Zoo Sóstó wird verlassen müssen…🐻‍❄️🤔

  3. Dear Mervi!
    Thank you for these touching news!
    I also wish the little ones and their mum only the very best! May they grow big and strong.
    I hope that the father is also doing well! The gestation period of polar bears is eight months, so Lloyd will probably be the father.

    Lieber Jens! Danke für die Kuschelfotos der Mädels WG in Nürnberg. Toll, dass sie recht harmonisch zusammen leben!

    Hugs
    Anke

    • Guten Abend Anke!
      Vielen Dank für Deinen freundlichen Kommentar.
      Ja, den drei Mädels geht es prima. Sie wechseln zwar gerade das Fell, aber das wird schon wieder.

      Auf jeden Fall ist Kuscheln angesagt.
      Ich wünsche Dir einen schönen Abend.

      Grüße Jens

  4. Dear Mirjam and Mervi
    If Lloyd is the father and the two are girls they have a great family. Lloyd and Victoria in Bremerhaven have four super daughters.

  5. These are very sweet news, all the best for Snezhana and the twins. I hope that they have enough place to keep Fiete and Lloyd
