Snacks on the rocks in Novosibirsk

21.7.2025 – Photos by Arkadi Laptenko and Sergej Iltjakov

The Summer has been very warm in Nobosibirsk so far and more warm days are predicted by the weather gurus.

Belka and Strelka have found lots of toys that probably were hidden under the snow during the Winter.

One of the girls was very tired.

Kaj had a hearty meal. – Do you want to see my Dracula imitation?

Here we go! OK, the teeth are black and a little crooked but I think this is a good imitation! 🙂

Often Gerda and Kai have their meals served on ice. What a great idea of the keepers!

Of course, the family spends a lot of time in the water. This is Kai challenging a big ice float.

  1. Dear Mervi,
    well the two of them have no shortage of toys
    and the snacks on offer are also impressive.
    It’s great that they are doing so well and I wish
    that Kai and Gerda would get a better facility too!

    Best wishes and thanks to you
    and for the lovely pictures of Arkadi Laptenko and Sergej Iltjakov

  2. Dear Arkady and Sergej, dear Mervi!
    Thank you for this lovely update from Novosibirsk!
    Your photos show four gorgeous polar bears doing well and being imaginatively and creatively spoilt with treats and toys. It’s a great idea to serve them food on ice in the heat…
    I think that’s what beloved bears look like.

    Hugs
    Anke
