24.4.2025 – Photos by Arkadi Laptenko
The weather in Novosibirsk has switched between really warm days and some cold days when it was even snowing a little. In the polar bear enclosures the snow has melted and the ‘pool’ is ice free.
Dear Gerda, may I say you look beautiful!
This time of the year many polar bears have more or less problems with their furs but Gerda and Kai look amazingly white and fluffy.
I guess the concrete without grass or mud is the reason. Whatever – the couple looks fantastic together.
Proud and beautiful!
Belka and Strelka look very brown compared to their parents. 🙂
Their enclosure doesn’t look so nice now but soon the grass will be green and the trees have already nice leaves.
I don’t know what I should call this great construction. Have you any ideas?
Whatever it’s called it’s a nice place for chilling …
… and even for some gymnastic exercises. 🙂
Our fans are here so let’s go and meet them! We must remember to mind our manners!
Is this cutie dancing? She seems to have rhytm! 🙂
Of course, the girls have lots of fun in the water, too. Some toys have been hidden under the snow but now many treasures can be found.
Ich freu mich über alle Vier,alles Liebe und Gut efür sie! 💓 🥰 👍

Dear Mervi,
the bear parents look fantastically good, but I also really like the young bears in their scruffy look.
A ‘balcony’ for chilling out is ideal, isn’t it?
Thanks for the entry and best wishes

Dear Arkadi!
“Is this cutie dancing? She seems to have rhytm! 🙂” So cool!
All the photos are great, but this one with the matching caption tops them all and made me laugh.
It’s wonderful to see these gorgeous bears who seem to be doing very well! The parents are white and extremely well-groomed, the daughters wild, fun-loving and almost a bit punky. Thank you for sharing!
Dear Mervi! Thanks for editing!
Hugs
Anke
Kai und Gerda sind ein schönes Paar, mit ihrem weißen,fluffigen Fell!🐻❄️🐻❄️👌
Belka und Strelka haben die Chance sich “schmutzig” zu machen und die nutzen die beiden in vielfältiger Weise…👍🐻❄️🐻❄️👏
Es freut mich sehr, dass es der Eisbärenfamilie gut geht!!😊
