One morning Belka and Strelka in the Novosibirsk Zoo found red watering cans in their enclosure.

Of course, the new toys caught their interest.

What can we do with these thingies?

We can juggle with it …

… or use it as a face mask.

There were two cans but, naturally, both were interested in the same can – just like human kids always want the same toy. 🙂

Mama told us this toy is a watering can but it looks empty!

What to do?

Heureka! We are clever girls and know we must fill it with water! First we must dive into the water.

Sorry, Sis! Not one of my best landings.

I hope you’re OK!

No hard feelings.

Gerda came to check her sweeties were doing fine.

That’s all folks but we’ll be back before long!
