Hello! Here we are again! The days and nights are getting chilly in Novosibirsk but the water in the polar bears’ pool is still free of ice so Gerda, Belka and Strelka can enjoy games in the water.
The girls love to jump into the water ….
…. and they have their own ‘specialities’ in diving! 🙂
Well done, Sis!
I come after you.
The water isn’t so warm now so it’s very suitable for us!
I hope you’ve seen what skilful divers we are.
While waiting for snow and ice this ‘ice float’ will do!
Of course, swimming with mama is always fun. Mama must think she’s a submarine …. 🙂
Mama, it’s hug time!!
After the wet games it’s cosy to be close to mama and let the sun rays warm us.
Naturally, Belka and Strelka visited mama’s milk bar. Small polar bear girls need lots of energy!
I wish my dear kids would take a nap now.
At least one of them feels tired. Please, note what an elegant polar bear pose this girl shows.
Thank you for watching! Please, stay tuned – we’ll be back soon!
Dear Mervi & Arkadi,
Thank you so much for the beautiful photo’s of Gerda, Belka & Strelka.
They look to be having such a fun time in the water as do all polar bears.
Die Bärchen haben sich so toll entwickelt,
dass es eine Pracht ist. 🙂
Danke für die schöne Fotostrecke !
Yes, Gerda and her girls really are an awfully nice family.
The second picture is absolutely adorable!!!
Thank you for the absolutely gorgeous update, dear Arkadi!
Hugs,
Anita
Heartwarming!
Dear Mervi and Arkadi!
I too am enthusiastic about these photos. The family looks wonderful and is excellently cared for and kept busy given the enclosure, which leaves much to be desired.The pictures are magical, true works of art and the bears melt hearts.
I wish them a wonderful winter with lots of snow and ice, just the way polar bears like it.
Thank you so much for sharing!
Hugs
Anke
