15.12.2025 – Photos by Arkadi Laptenko
The polar bears in the Novosibirsk Zoo have been able to enjoy snow for some weeks now. This time you meet Belka, Strelka and papa Kai. Gerda was Indoors on the day Arkadi took the photos.
We check that everything’s fine every day. This looks solid enough!
No matter wher we go – there’s snow everywhere! Hopefully it will stay all Winter long!
Mind the stairs – they are quite slippery.
It’s so fun to play hide-and-seek now!
OK, you found a perfect hiding place but I caught you anyway!
Nothing compares to a good roll in the snow.
It looks like Kai needs a ‘rolling snow bath’, too!
That’s better!
Kai was also busy making snow balls ….
… oh bear, it can be quite exhausting.
Time for a well deserved nap!
Liebe Mervi,
Die Schneefotos aus Novisibirsk sind klasse. So wünscht man sich den Winter, vor allem für Eisbären. Kai hat das Schneebad auch gutgetan.
Dir und Arkadi vielen Dank für den schönen Beitrag!
Dear Mervi, dear Arkadi!
These pictures show the kind of winter polar bears want. I am happy for the bears in Novosibirsk and hope they continue to have plenty of snow and ice.
Father Frost can take his time here…
Belka and Strelka are lively and playful and look very pretty, but I like the relaxed Kai, who is both making himself comfortable on the snow and forming huge snowballs from it, just as much.
Thank you for sharing!
Hugs
Anke

Eisbären,ob jung oder schon etwas älter und Schnee gehören zusammen.
Die Familie aus Novosibirsk genießt die weiße Pracht…❄🐻❄️🐻❄️🐻❄️🐻❄️❄
Der Winter ist da und die Eisbären fühlen sich wohl. 🙂
