The Novosibirsk Zoo has revealed the gender of the polar bear cub born to Kai and Gerda in December 2025: it’s a boy.

As far as I know the baby boy hasn’t got a name yet. I would like to call him Mischa!

The cub is doing well: healthy, active, and curiously exploring the world around him. It’s already clear he’s inherited both his parents’ strength and charm.

Access to the happy family’s enclosure is currently closed to prevent visitors from disturbing the mother and her cub.

The baby bear is very tiny compared to his mother.

Is there a little treasure hidden under the snow … 🙂

Of course, staying close to mama makes the little guy feel safe and secure.
