A hot August but cool polar bears

20.8.2020 – Photos by Jutta Kirchner

The heat wave just going on and on and on …. but the polar bears in Vienna don’t seem to be too bothered by the extremely hot weather.

Maybe Nora and Finja are dreaming of the snow and ice but they look quite contented with their life.

No wonder Finja gets often thirsty but ‘nema problema’ – mama’s milk bar is always open!

The enclosure is very green for the time being and Nora likes to take a walk in the ‘garden’…..

…. and Finja likes to follow her mama.

Sometimes she finds a hidden toy between the rocks.

Hmmm, how can I amuse myself today?

Oh, I know! I’ll dive in the water and visit Woody.

Maybe you remember my special friend?

Yes, it’s the wood log! Woody and I have been friends since I first entered the water.

When I saw these photos of Finja I thought of a starry sky ….

…. and, naturally, sweet Finja is the brightest star of them all!

It’s time to say bye-bye for now but, please, stay tuned – I’ll be back!
