I love to publish photos of polar bears in the snow so here are Michelle’s lovely pics of Berit and Siku.
Hello 🐻❄️ Berit! Photos are from my last visit before Christmas when we had snow.
Berit was relaxing when I arrived that morning. Both Berit & Siku were patiently awaiting snacks.
Berit taking a quick drink before….
The door opened & both headed to the other side for snacks
Berit was first to come back to the original 🐻❄️ side….
Berit then took a relaxing snow bath (previous post), then after her final shake off headed …..
Found you, Berit! She headed to the restaurant end where she usually takes her late morning siesta.
Found a leaf….
Oh…oh….I think some 🐻❄️ is in your napping spot!
Berit having a “chat: with Siku. He even brought his big drum into Berit’s favorite morning siesta spot.
Berit & Siku are doing great together….
“I’ll let you stay there….for now!”
“She loves me!!” You are quite the handsome male 🐻❄️ Siku!
After a lap around the zoo I stopped back & Berit was back in her favorite siesta spot.
“Of course, I am….now move along….it’s time for a siesta.”
I will see you very soon again!

















Dear Mervi!
I’m very sorry that so few people leave comments here! Perhaps one reason is that it takes several attempts to log into KM and you have to keep trying with a lot of patience.
Dear Michelle!
I enjoy these pictures. Polar bears in the snow usually look like they are doing well. Berit and Siku get along well together, and that’s exactly how it should be! They both look great! Thank you very much!

Eine wunderschöne Bärin und tolle Fotos!
Just so wonderful to see Berit in the snow. She seems so happy, not showing her years at all. And Siku is a great friend for her.
Thanks for sharing. We are happy to see our Cincinnati girl doing so well.
