There was ❤️ in the air at the Henry Vilas Zoo (Madison) with polar bears, Nora & Siku when I visited them on the 12th of February. WOWZA! This is how my visit ended yesterday. Nora & Siku were still playing when I had to head home. There will be more to come from this visit. Happy day to you all! ✌️❤️&🐻‍❄️

Hello & welcome to WI, Nora. Looks like Nora’s ready for the pool.

Siku is still deciding….

Nora was already in & playing, but stopped over to persuade Siku. 😍

Let’s go Siku….jump in!

Siku’s not quite ready for the plunge….

Nora is working on him

At last…..Siku is in!!

Siku with a quick shake off while…..

Nora tries to wait patiently……

CHOMP!! She likes to nibble on you, Siku😍

Siku might finally be ready to…..

Play, but Nora wants to…

Chase me, Siku!!

Nora’s waiting for you, Siku!

Here comes. Siku…..
