Ouwehands Tierpark Rhenen – Freedom and her twins

28.5.2020 – Photos by Josien de Vries

Wolodja came to our zoo from Berlin. Now he lives in the Zoo Rotterdam but before he moved he left a wonderful inheritage in Rhenen. The mating with Freedom resulted in two sweet polar bear cubbies.

The babies were born on the 27th of November 2019. The following photos were taken about a fortnight ago.

Freedom became mother for the third time. Her mother Huggies and her daughter Sura (born 2014) are also living in Rhenen.

The year 2019 was a very succesful breeding season for the polar bears in the European zoos. There are cubs in Wien, Bremerhaven, Hannover, Copenhagen, Aalborg and Antibes!

One of the cubs is a boy and his name is Yuka and accordingly the other one is a girl who got the name Yura.
