Some news from Karlsruhe

Charlotte and Lloyd are being kept separately and they will most probably not meet each other. Lloyd will move to the Sóstó Zoo in Hungary as soon as the new polar bear enclosure has been renovated.

Well, Lloyd – Charlotte never became your girlfriend but I hope you will meet a nice lady in Sóstó!

You look a little doubtful …..

I don’t know when you will move but I wish you already a safe trip to Hungary and hope you will be happy there!

It isn’t easy to be a polar bear male. First you must move because of the cubs and then for other reasons.

Be a brave boy!

My wild guess is that the polar bears’ enclosure/s in Karlsruhe will perhaps be ‘for girls only’. How I wish that some of the polar bears in Orsa could come to here now that there would be enough place for them! I know there are many polar bear girls waiting for new homes but the bears in Orsa are in urgent need!

Charlotte – Doesn’t she look beautiful?

It looks like Lottchen has taken a bath. Her fur sure is white and fluffy!

There will be changes in my home zoo and I will have new friends – hopefully some nice and friendly ladies!

  1. Dear Petra and Mervi! Thank you for the news from Karlsruhe.
    I wish Lloyd all the best and I hope that Charlotte would not stay allone.
    Hugs

  2. Man fragt sich natürlich unwillkürlich, warum nicht Larsson nach Sosto zurückkehrt, sondern nun Lloyd noch eine Reise antreten mussP? Sieht man es positiv, so ist zu vermerken, dass das EEP nun überhaupt mal Entscheidungen trifft. Ob die allerdings logisch und für die Bären förderlich sein mögen, lasse ich einmal dahin gestellt. Wir haben sowieso keinen Einfluss darauf, egal wieviel wir mailen oder telefonieren. Diese Leute sind absolut beratungsresistent… 🙄

  3. This is very disappointing. It would have made more sense for Anna and Elsa to leave Bremerhaven and for Lloyd to go “home”.
    The whole thing is very sad

  4. Liebe Petra und liebe Mervi!
    Bei den Reisen und Umzügen der Eisbärenmännern bekomme ich immer Bauchweh. Für mich wird Lloyd immer mit dem Zoo in Bremerhaven verbunden bleiben, auch wenn Karlsruhe eine gute Alternative war. Dass er jetzt nach Sosto reist, gefällt mir nach der Geschichte mit Fiete überhaupt nicht.
    Ich wünsche sowohl Charlotte als auch Lloyd nur das Allerbeste!

    Liebe Grüße
    Anke

  5. I don’t understand this. I thought the new enclosure in Sóstó will be finished in 2024?
