16.2.2026 – Photos by Sergej Iltjakov
In many zoos the snow has melted away but in Novosibirsk Belka, Strelka and Kai can still enjoy the delights of Winter time.
When Kai is having fun in the snow Gerda has been spending time Indoors. I hope we will soon know if there are cub/s or not …
Belka and Strelka compared the sizes of their mouths. I think they were both winners. 🙂
Some dancing …
… before playing.
Belka demonstrated how to have fun with the remains of the yellow rabbit. Mind you, not remains of a living rabbit! 🙂
Well, yellow thingie – what shall I do with you now?
She’s a very agile polar bear girl.
What a cute fur ball!
Strelka had some difficulties fetching a suitable toy …
… but she found a nice ball to play with.
What could be better after a busy day than a nice nap?
Kai waves bye bye for now but promises the family will be back soon!
Liebe Marvi,
In Novosibirsk ist noch richtig Winter und mit gelben Bällen und Stoffksninchen macht das Toben im Schnee richtig Spaß.
Für Gerda wünsche ich ihr und den beiden Jungtieren eine Babypause!
Liebe Grüße und danke für die schönen Fotos von Sergej
Das Fellknäul ist klasse!
So schön wieder alles! 🥰💓👍
Dear Sergej!
These are wonderful and funny photos of the polar bears in Novosibirsk. You can see right away that the twins and their dad are in good shape and feeling well, and their winter fur is a dream. They are having exactly the kind of winter they dream of in summer. I especially like the last photo with Kai looking relaxed and extremely handsome. Thank you for sharing!
I hope Gerda is doing well!
Hugs
Anke
