Happy birthday to you, Wilbär!

10.12.2022 – Photos by Anders Björklund

On the 10th of December 2007 Corinna and Anton in Wilhelma, Stuttgart, became parents to a sweet little polar bear boy. The baby got the name Wilbär. In May 2009 he moved to Orsa in Sweden.

Although Wilbär now lives in the Dierenrijk Nuenen in the Netherlands I want to show you photos from his 2nd birthday which was his first in Orsa.

  1. Oh, how much I love to remember WILBÄRle at his time in the WILHELMA (Stuttgart) and in the’Bärenpark ORSA Grönklitt’ (Dalarna, Sweden).

    Thank you very much, dear Mervi, for informing that he had to move to the Dierenrijk NUENEN in the Netherlands (as usual I didn’t know OR didn’t remember that!). Hopefully he has already found or will soon find there new fans and get the occasion to have a little birthday party on his today’s 15th birthday.

    The photographs of Anders Björklund made during Wilbär’s time in ORSA at his 2nd birthday are a real treasure to refresh our memory.

  2. Happy Birthday, lieber Wilbär!! Viel Spaß beim Feiern!

    Thank you, dear Mervi, for this wonderful birthday card!

  3. Happy Birthday dear Wilbär!
    I hope you have a wonderful day and are spoiled with lots of goodies!
    It would have been much nicer if you could still celebrate your birthday in Orsa, we would have wished it to you so much…
    But animals don’t live in the past, they live from day to day. Therefore I hope that you are not sad and that you spend your birthday in the best mood and health!

    All the best

    Dear Mervi!
    Thank you for this beautiful, but somewhat melancholic birthday tribute to Wilbär. Anders took great pictures!

  4. Happy 15th Birthday Wilbar,
    I can see by the beautiful photographs that you had a lovely day on your 2nd birthday……I hope today was just as good
    Thank you Mervi for sharing.

  5. Dear Mervi and Anders,

    this is a wonderful memory of Wilbär, who could celebrate his 2nd birthday already Orsa in this wonderful bear paradise, which he unfortunately had to leave again after many years.
    I hope that also in Nuenen in the Netherland his 15th birthday was so lovingly arranged and I wish him a healthy year of life!

    Best wishes
    Britta-Gudrun
