8.2.2019 – Photos by Marko Junttila, Ranua Wildlife Park
Terve! Hello! Let me tell you that we’re having a fantastic Winter with lots of snow and polar beary temperatures! February really is my favourite month so from now on I will call it Sisuary!
Doesn’t this path look lovely?
I’ve seen photos of my pal Aron rolling in the snow and I want to show you same kind of photos of me. At the same time I send my best greetings to Aron in Tallinn. We are almost related because my big brother Ranzo and his big sister Nora are a couple now. I hope even they have snow …..
Walking in the snow and thinking of nice things is so relaxing. I wish all the two legged creatures had time for this kind of relaxation – although they always seem to be too busy. Hmm, maybe a Humanlife Park with nice enclosures could be an alternative to the stressing life style?
I think I look like a ballet dancer when I keep my paws so nicely. Pas-de-bear!
I don’t have to look for a bar when I get thirsty. I just lick the snow which is very clean and cold. No ice needed! – Of course, mama’s milk bar is a totally different matter ….. I need it when I’m hungry!
Cuddling with mama is, naturally, on my daily schedule.
Mama and I are of equal size now but I think I’m already stronger. That’s why I must remember to be gentle with her when we’re wrestling.
Winter impressions
Because the Winter is so lovely here in Ranua I want to share some of Marko’s excellent photos with you.
The cottage park Gulo Gulo in daylight ….
… and in the night time.
The trees are in ‘snow blossom’ and the birds seem to like to sit on the white branches.
The northern lights can be seen quite often this time of the year.
The dhole has found a real snow castle!
The Siberian deers are lovely animals that don’t mind the cold weather or the snow.
You must admit our zoo looks fairytale like at the moment!
We polar bears don’t hibernate as our brown collegues so we don’t have to eat so much in the Summer and in the Fall either. Hmm, my belly is rather roundish anyway …. maybe I should try a diet?
Diet? Who am I kidding? No way! I can smell the keepers bringing food for mama and me so I’m off now!
Your white fluffy pal in Ranua wishes you all a pleasant Sisuary!
