There has been a real heat wave in Novosibirsk. The temperatures were about 36-37 degrees during several days! Now the temperatures are a little lower but it’s still very warm.
Oh bear, it’s too darned hot!
Naturally mama Gerda knew what to do to put up with the heat.
Come on, kids – the water is warm but it’s refreshing anyway.
Mama, it’s too warm for us.
OK! Follow me and I will show you what our keepers have prepared for us.
Voila! Snow and ice!
As usual the keepers have made a little Arctic Corner in the shadow for their beloved polar bears. I hope many other zoos follow their example because another hot Summer is predicted!
I hope I’m not dreaming! No, the snow is real.
The kids were excited and jumped happily in the snow.
Yippee! I cam make the snow fly!
Oh, what a big snow ball!
Gerda knows it’s no good to be too active when the heat is on.
Mama, maybe you should clean your boomsie ….. 🙂
She encouraged her twins to join her and take a rest.
This is a very cosy polar bear bedroom!
Dear keepers! Thank you so much for the snow!
What a charming tableau of our little Siberian bears. Ice and snow are always welcome on a hot day.
Ich könnte dieser liebenswerten kleinen Familie stundenlang zugucken! 😍 💓

Der Klimawandel lässt auch in Sibirien grüßen.
Zum Glück werden sie im Winter wieder reichlich
Eis und Schnee haben – mit kühlem Wasser und
etwas Kunstschnee wird die Zeit überstanden.
Thank you very much dear Mervi and photographers.
Best wishes to Gerda and her babies.
Dieser Eisbärenfamilie geht es gut!!🐻❄️🐻❄️🐻❄️😊🤗
Dear Mervi, dear photographers!
What a difference a pile of snow makes! The joy about this loving attention is clearly visible to Gerda and the little ones.
Thank you for these great and refreshing pictures!
Hugs

Thank you to Mervi and the photographer’s for the beautiful photo’s.
Gerda and her twins looked to be having an amazing time.
Wenn nur alles in diesem Land so erfreulich, ja geradzu hinreißend vergnüglich wäre, wie die Eisbärenfamilie in Novosibirsk (mit ihren Pfleger/inne/n.
Danke fürs Einstellen.
