The Spring has arrived even in Novosibirsk but I want to show you some last snowy photos of our polar bear friends.
Belka and Strelka taking a walk in the white stuff before it melts away.
The magpies are frequent visitors in the girls’ enclosure.
A nice nap on the soft snow matress.
Papa Kai looks very handsome in the snow.
What? Am I not handsome without the snow?
Oh yes, you are always handsome!
The baby boy hasn’t got a name yet but there’s a name competition going on so soon we will know ….
Walks with mama are on the schedule every day.
The snow isn’t so white anymore …
… and soon the baby will experience the enclosure in a different ‘dress’.
The keepers in this zoo usually create an ‘arctic corner’ with snow in the enclosure so I hope they will do that this season, too.
