Mika the Prince of Water

10.5.2025 – Photos by Rebecca Roth

During Rebecca’s visit in the Karlsruhe Zoo she found Mika swimming and playing in the water.

By the way – there’s no longer a 5-minute limit but the visitors can admire Mika as long as they want!

What a beautiful photo of an adorable baby bear!

Mika loves to play in the water and there are always nice surprises to be found in the ‘pool’ ….

…. and even close to the water.

The little rascal already knows how to entertain his visitors.

Playing ‘under cover’ – a secret agent perhaps?

Games with mama are always great fun for the little boy.

Mama, why are your ears so big?

Hmm, now I’m blushing of embarrasment. The ‘ears’ are, of course, mama’s paws!

Dear child, sometimes it’s not so easy to see the difference between ears and paws. No need to be embarrassed! Let me kiss your sweet nose.

Mama, I’m hungry!

Dear child, the restaurant is open – always for you.

An afternoon nap is needed. There’s a big difference in the sizes of the boomsies but they are both very cute! 🙂

  1. Liebe Rebecca!
    Der kleine Mika ist DER Anziehungspunkt im Karlsruher Zoo! Nur allzu verständlich, wenn man sich die Fotos anguckt… Vielen Dank für die vielen niedliche Bilder! Es ist wunderbar, wie lebendig, verspielt und neugierig er ist. Die Fotos sind alle super und über den “Secret Agent” könnte ich mich beömmeln…

    Liebe Grüße
    Anke

  2. Liebe Rebecca!
    Es sind sehr schöne Bilder. Das Kind wächst sehr schnell. Nuka scheint sehr entspannt zu sein.
    Hugs

  3. Liebe Rebecca,
    Mika ist das volle Programm und voller Energie. Die Besucher wird es freuen, nun keine Besuchsbegrenzung mehr zu haben.
    Danke für die bezaubernden Fotos!

    • Dear Rebecca and Mervi
      Thank you so much I cannot get enough of Nuka and Mika.
      I would once have visited them myself and stood at the glass with my shopping bag But Karlsruhe is a long journey.
      I remember a failed trip to Gelsenkirchen when Lara and Nookie were not out for the three days I was there! So I am happy to sit at home and watch your pictures and read Mervi’s lovely comments.

  4. Wiedermal ein herzliches DANKESCHÖN für die tollen Fotogrüße von dem quirligen Mika und seiner spielfreudigen Mama. Obwohl, die beiden genießen auch die ruhigen,nahen Momente…👍🐻‍❄️🐻‍❄️👌😊
    Und das letzte Foto lässt mich schmunzeln …😉
