On my visit to Jimmy’s Farm on the 28th of April, there was no interaction between Ewa and the other bears.
Here Ewa is happily laid on a grass bank chomping occasionally on the luscious grass.
She certainly seems happy doing her own thing.
I was very worried when I heard about Orsa closing the park but now I can be happy seeing Ewa – and Hope – have found a very good home at Jimmy’s Farm.
She sure looks happy lying in the sunshine.
Ewa was in the small enclosure minding her own business when she spotted Tala & Flocke behind. She began to move away then Tala started to run after her, closely followed by mum Flocke. This continued through into the larger enclosure.
I did feel a sorry for her when Tala, followed by Flocke, chased after her. It looked like they were in training for the 400 metres at the Polar Bear Olympics!
Flocke was a bit slower than speedy Tala but Ewa managed to keep the distance.
You can see the ‘scene’ in these two short videos.
Dear Pat,
yes, it is sad that Ewa has not yet found a connection to Flocke and Tala, but
she seems to be coping with the situation, at least she looks very relaxed in the photos.
Perhaps she is also dreaming of the snowy winters in Orsa?
Many thanks and best wishes!

Dear Pat!
It is not easy for Ewa to deal with Flocke and Tala. I hope they will find together.
Ewa looks very nice.

Dear Pat and Mervi
Female Polars are naturally wary of other Polars in order to protect their cubs. They also do not need to playfight like the males to secure a partner.
Thank you for your lovely reports.
Dear Pat!
Thank you for another update!
I hope that the three polar bear ladies will still get together, but I would set a time frame for it. It shouldn’t be the case that Ewa is constantly chased and stressed by the other two. Perhaps they simply can’t be socialised together and Ewa is better off somewhere else. But of course I hope that the three of them will soon live together peacefully.
Ewa is a beautiful bear lady!
All the best

Ewa sieht auf den Fotos ganz entspannt und zufrieden aus, sie scheint sich selbst genug zu sein…
Und sie versteht es auch, dem Mutter und Tochter-Gespann Flocke und Tala Grenzen zu setzen!
Die Areale auf Jimmy’s Farm sind für die vier Eisbärinnen zum Glück groß genug, dass sie einander aus dem Weg gehen können und mit der Zeit findet vielleicht doch noch die eine und andere Annäherung statt…🐻❄️🐻❄️🐻❄️🐻❄️💝
