Greetings from Wolodja

8.2.2020 – Photos by Nel Hoekstra

Hello! This is your Wolodja in the Diergaarde Blijdorp in Rotterdam. As you know I’ve become a father for the second time. I’m, of course, proud as a peacock!

I also want to write HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, DEAR NEL! You always take such nice photos of me!

Freedom and the babies live in the Ouwerhands Dierenpark and I’m glad to inform you that they’re doing fine.

The old lady Olinka is living in the same zoo but often I prefer to be alone. The ladies can be very annoying if you know what I mean ….. 🙂

My serving personnel (read: the keepers) has brought me a nice tree stump.

This thing is a challenge even for a big polar bear like me!!

Well, if you can’t beat them – join them. The stump is perfect for scratching my cheek!

Playing in the water is one of my favourite hobbies.

This chain of balls is a very suitable toy for water games.

It works fine even under the water.

I think there are visitors wanting to see more of me …. …. and their wishes are my command. I’m a very generous gentlebear – ask anybear!!
