I proudly present Gerda, Kai and Rostik

29.8.2017 – Photos by Anna Novikova

I have the greatest pleasure of presenting the three polar bears in the Novosibirsk Zoo. My new friend Anna Novikova has kindly given me permission to publish her great photos. I hope we can keep on following this lovely polar bear family in Russia. Thank you so much, dear Anna!

Gerda is a female born on the 20th of November 2007 in the Moscow Zoo. Her parents are Simona and Vrangel. She came to Novosibirsk in August 2008.

Gerda is a beautiful polar bear lady – fluffy and roundish just like a polar bear lady should look.

She even has a very charming smile!

A broader smile with a ‘teeth show’. 🙂

Kai (Krassin) is a male born on the 27th of November 2007 in the St Petersburg Zoo. His parents are Uslada and Menschikov and he came to Novosibirsk in June 2008.

Kai looks as gorgeous as his father Menschikov.

Rostik is the son of Gerda and Kai. He was born on the 7th of December 2015.

The shadows are playing games on his lovely face.

Gerda is having a meal – looks like a piece of meat.

Kai has been treated with a huge piece of meat but, of course, a big bear needs big portions!

This was all for this time but I hope to be able to show you more of this sweet family even in the future.

Gerda says bye-bye for now!
