New year wishes from Nuenen

2.1.2023 – Photos by Hans Muskens

Even the animals in the Dierenrijk Nuenen are hoping for a better new  year. Let’s hope their wishes will come true.

The lion is obviously hoping for lots of yammy food. 🙂

The cheetah looks a bit tired of waiting for good news from the world outside.

Maybe I should be hibernating but too much is happening and I’m a curious guy.

The wolf clan is doing fine. The kids are growing fast and they are now almost as big as their parents.

Arctic foxes are like chameleons changing their fur colour depending on the season. Now it’s time for the white version.

Beavers are the engineers in the nature and I’m sure this one is hoping for lots of usable stuff for his ‘buildings’.

The lynx couple loves to take things easy and just relax. It’s easy to guess they only want a peaceful and happy life in this zoo.

I guess Frimas is hoping that Elva will soon find a new home so she can finally meet Wilbär.

Well, Frimas – all in good time …. Just take it easy ….

Elva is looking forward to the new year. Perhaps there will be nice surprises for her.

Wilbär has been patiently waiting for his first date with Frimas. Maybe this year ….

  1. Good morning Hans and Mervi
    Thank you for another chance to visit Nuenen and its animals. I am sure that Elva will find a new home and that Wilbaer will meet Frimas.

  2. Lieber Hans,
    liebe Mervi,
    Mutter und Tochter sehen sehr gut aus!
    Ich glaube, Frimas hatte schon mehrere Kinder und meine, das wäre auch genug.
    Gibt es im Zoo nicht die Möglichkeit Bärinnen die Pille zu geben, damit die Paare ohne Nachwuchs zu zeugen miteinander leben können, wenn sie sich vertragen?

    Beste Wünsche für das neue Jahr, lieber Hans und vielen Dank für deine tollen Fotos!

  3. Thank you very much dear Mervi and Hans.
    Best wishes to Wilbaer, Frimas, Elva and the other animals in Nuenen.
    Happy new year to everyone.

  4. Lieber Hans!
    Happy New Year auch in die Niederlande!
    Danke für viele Fotos der liebenswerten Bewohner des Dierenrijk Nuenen. Ich mochte sie alle. Besonders knuffig fand ich den Polarfuchs und den müden Braunbären. Ich an seiner Stelle würde nur zu gerne Winterschlaf halten… 😉
    Die Eisbären sehen gut aus und ich bin gespannt, wie es mit ihnen weitergeht. Ich wünsche ihnen nur das Allerbeste!

    Hugs
    Anke

    Beste Hans!
    Gelukkig nieuwjaar ook richting Nederland!
    Bedankt voor de vele foto’s van de mooie bewoners van Dierenrijk Nuenen. Ik vond ze allemaal leuk. Ik vond de poolvos en de vermoeide bruine beer bijzonder aaibaar. Als ik hem was, zou ik maar al te graag een winterslaap houden….
    De ijsberen zien er goed uit en ik ben benieuwd wat er met hen gebeurt. Ik wens ze het allerbeste!

    Knuffels
    Anke

  6. Dear Hans

    It’s one thing to make so many wishes for the new year.
    True, we all hope for a better 2023. We hope never to go hungry in the company of our loved ones, to live in peace and to enjoy meeting a new love.
    By the way, how often have I wanted to hibernate and then not done it? I feel the same as the bear: I could miss something. And maybe that would be something positive!
    We see that the desires of humans are not so different from those of animals. It’s just that animals are smarter and more realistic than we humans.
    Thank you Hans, for your wonderful pictures. I am always very happy about them.

    Hugs,
    Anita

  7. Thank you Hans & Mervi,
