Hurray! It’s finally Winter!

2.12.2025 – Photos by Arkadi Laptenko and Sergej Iltjakov

The Winters nowadays are not what they used to be but in Novosibirsk the ground is white and the temperatures are polar bear like.

Belka and Strelka are, of course, happy about the white stuff.

Everything seems to be ready for the Winter season ….

Maybe Kai needs a good roll in the snow so his fur will be whiter ….

  1. Dear Arkady and Sergey,
    I am delighted for the polar bears in Novosibirsk that they can now enjoy winter with snow and ice to the fullest. The wonderful photos show the bears in very good spirits.
    The fourth picture from the bottom is my favourite. Thank you for sharing them!

    Hugs
    Anke
