Terve taas! Hello again! Oh bear, you can’t imagine what a great surprise mama and I had this morning! When we came out we found lots of snow in our enclosure! First we thought it’s been snowing again but then we found out that the snow is a donation from the Ruka Ski Resort.
Ruka has so much snow stored for the next season that they decided to bring some of it to us. The idea came from the children of an employee in Ruka. When they visited the Ranua Zoo the children wondered why there was no snow for the polar bears. Well, it could easily be arranged their father thought and today we could enjoy the touch of snow under our paws again!
We’ve had some really hot days so the timing was perfect!! Let’s see if I remember what to do with this white stuff!
Look, I made a king size snow ball. You must be impressed …. 🙂
I never thought I could make snow balls in July! My mama told me we have to wait until November but for once she was wrong! 🙂
There’s so much snow that I can make a small cave, too!
Hahaa, the visitors must be wondering where the cute polar bear boy is …..
Oh bear, mama found me – but she’s a very clever and observant mama. Too observant sometimes if yo ask me!
Thank you, Ruka, for bringing us this wonderful gift!
Mama said that seeing snow is like meeting a dear friend again. She certainly looks happy!
I’m a happy polar bear boy today. On second thought – I’m a happy polar bear boy every day!
Dear readers, I hope somebody will donate snow to you, too, when and if it gets too hot!
Snowy greetings from your pal Nalle
