Rebecca has visited the Budapest Zoo and she could bring us good news of Lloyd.
Unlike Fiete Lloyd seems to have settled in Budapest quite well.
Lloyd ate with good appetite.
He also spent a lot of time playing in the water ….
…. and showing his swimming skils to the visitors.
Yes, it looks like Lloyd is quite satisfied with his temporary home.
Of course, the enclosure doesn’t look so cosy ….
…. but Lloyd seems to be a ‘man of the world’ so he can adapt well to new situations.
Sweet dreams, dear Lloyd! Even though you are doing fine in Budapest I hope you can move to another zoo as soon as possible. You deserve a good home!
Dear Rebecca! Thank you so much for the good news and the photos!
Hallo, Mervi, Dir und Rebecca an dieser Stelle nochmal ein DANKESCHÖN für den Besuch bei LLOYD im Budapester Zoo und für das Einstellen der Fotos!!
Es schien ja,dass es Lloyd ähnlich ergeht wie Fiete, deshalb hatte ich den Zoo Budapest vor längerer Zeit angeschrieben und am Montag bekam ich eine sehr ausführliche Antwort zur aktuellen Eisbärenhaltung im Zoo, insbesondere zu Llyods Befinden! Nun bin ich sehr froh, dass ein “Augenzeugenbericht” vorliegt, der den Inhalt dieser Mail bestätigt!
Auch wenn es Lloyd besser geht, als das bei Fiete der Fall gewesen ist, hoffe ich ebenfalls, dass Lloyd bald weiterziehen kann und er im Zoo Sóstó ein gutes Zuhause findet!!
Mit den besten Wünschen für ” unsere Weißen” und lieben Grüßen, Mirjam 🐻❄️✊🤗
Liebe Rebecca
Viele lieben Dank für die beruhigende Meldung aus Budapest. Die Fotos zeigen einen zufrieden wirkenden Bären. Ich hoffe, dass das auch weiterhin so bleibt.
Viele Grüße,
Anita
Thank you, dear Mervi!!
Hugs,

Dear Rebecca,
dear Mervi,
I am also very relieved to hear the good news about Lloyd, who is obviously comfortable and busy in what is unfortunately a very minimalist stone facility, grrrrrr
Still, I think he is very slim, so a few more kilos would suit him well with which he can hopefully move to Sosto soon.
Thank you very much for your current and positive report with kind regards!

Dear Rebecca, dear Mervi!
Thank you for the update on Lloyd!
I too am somewhat reassured that Lloyd is halfway coping with the changed circumstances and the new environment.
But like Britta-Gudrun, I find him far too thin and I hope that he will soon put on some weight again – relaxed and calm in a different, suitable environment.
Hugs
Anke
Thank you very much dear Mervi and Rebecca.
Best wishes to Lloyd.
Dear Mervi and Rebecca I remember over the years noticing that some zoos prefer to keep their Polar Bears thinner than others. Blizzard in Hamburg was very thin. Russian Polars on the other hand are always round and fluffy.
Even poor enclosures can work if the bears have plenty of attention as Wuppertal used to demonstrate.
Ein sehr schöner Bericht.
Dankeschön 🙂
