Cora and Irina in July

9.8.2023 – Photos by Martina Ho

When Martina visited the Brno Zoo she met two beautiful bear ladies.

Cora is looking white, round and fluffy – just like a beautiful polar bear lady must look. 🙂

She was posing so nicely for Martina and her camera.

Cora even spent some time in the water …

She has such a nice smile. Who says polar bears can’t smile?

In the afternoon it was time for a nap.

This is Cora’s version of the typical polar bear sleeping position.

Kamchatka bear Irina is doing fine, too.

  1. Dear Mertina!
    Thank you for the wonderful pictures of Cora and Irina. I heard that the zoo Brno rebuild the polar bear enclosure. Is this right?

  2. Dear Martina!
    Thank you for the photos of these beautiful bear ladies.
    I didn’t know Cora right away, so I had to do some research. I found out that she (*1998) is the mother of Tom, Bill, Kometa, Nanuk and Noria. After all, two of her children are in German zoos: Bill (*2007) in Gelsenkirchen and Noria (*2015) in Rostock.
    Kamchatka bear Irina is a very pretty representative of her species and I particularly like the photos of her sleeping.

    Hugs
