Aalborg – Close encounters of the polar bear kind

29.5.2020 – Photos by Jeanette Johnsen

The first step to ‘normal life’ – at least for the polar bear lovers – is that most zoos are open now. Even Aalborg has opened the gates for the visitors. Of course, there are strict restrictions just like in all other zoos. Let’s hope that every visitor follows the rules so the zoo can say open because the money the visitors bring is urgently needed!

It’s been a long waiting but now Malik could finally welcome the visitors and fans.

Now she could proudly present her adorable twins to the fans. Today the zoo announced the names of the baby girls – Inuk and Imaq. I must say I’m disappointed! There’s already Imaq in Copenhagen (Lynn’s cubbie) and Nöel’s cubbie is Inuvik – very close to Inuk. For me they will be Mette and Jytte – two decent Danish names. 🙂

Of course, the twins were curious about the two legged creatures on the other side of the glass ….

Just like Nuka and Quilaq they came very close to the glass to meet their human friends.

These visitors are not much bigger than I am.

They look very friendly so I’m putting on my cutest look.

Hello there! What a nice cap you have.

Why do they have such small paws??

Doesn’t it look like she was wearing a mouthguard just like ice hockey players? Well, I guess it’s a piece of an apple or at least something eatable … 🙂

Wow! Now I saw a bigger visitor but even she has very small paws …. and why are the claws so red??

I would like to kiss your paw, Madame, but this is the best I can do! 🙂
