November 24th 2013 – a very happy day in the Tallinn Zoo: after 11 years a lovely polar bear cub was born in the Tallinn Zoo – the first cub of Friida and Nord!
She got the name NORA. The name was derived from the names of her father Nord (who incidentally was also born on November 24th) and her mother Friida.
The previous polar bear cub, born in Tallinn, was Nora’s mother Friida, on December 16th 2002.
Nora was a very lively and playful, curious and skilful already when she was a very small bear. She liked to climb on the bars, to throw the toys and bones, swim and play. Everybody loved her!
She was very young – less then 2 years old, when she was separated from her mother. Because Nora is a very sensitive bear, this was very hard for her.
Nora moved to the Schönbrunn Zoo – to her father’s birthplace – in December 2017.
From March 19th 2018 Nora lives together with the Finnish male polar bear Ranzo.
It seems to me, that they get along very well: They like to play and dive together. They often even behave in a similar way.
Nora is calm and joyous – I hope she likes her new home and life together with Ranzo.
I have brought fish to Nora on her birthday every year, this year I sent to her and Ranzo a pack with toys and wrote this story.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DEAR NORA – MY PASSION!
I wish you good health and a very happy life together with Ranzo!
