Father Frost came with gifts

Before the year 2020 came to an end the keepers in the Novosibirsk Zoo assisted Father Frost when he came to visit Gerda, Kai, Shauna and Nordi (see the video in the end of this page). What great surprises there were for the polar bears!

The new year 2021 was written in the snow with eatable numbers.

The decorated tree wasn’t standing for a long time when Gerda and her twins discovered it. 🙂

There were three ice bombs but Shauna decided to start eating the numbers of the new year.

Shauna, have you eaten the whole year? Please, leave something to us, too!

Nordi was focused on the delicious ice bombs. Wow! What a perfect dinner!

The year 2021 is a mess now but let’s hope it will be a good year anyway! 🙂

Of course, Father Frost brought some nice toys as well.

Shauna is wondering what to do with this thingie.

Should I take it upstairs?

I wonder what made Gerda to show her tongue …

She’s such a beautiful polar bear lady and the snowy make-up makes her look even more beautiful!

Gerda and her daughter Shauna seem to be very pleased with the ‘New Year Special’ that their keepers had arranged.

Thank you for watching! We’ll be back soon and hope many visitors will come to meet us although the temperatures are very low – the record is around -45 Celcius!
