There was ❤️ in the air at the Henry Vilas Zoo (Madison) with polar bears, Nora & Siku when I visited them on the 12th of February. WOWZA! This is how my visit ended yesterday. Nora & Siku were still playing when I had to head home. There will be more to come from this visit. Happy day to you all! ✌️❤️&🐻❄️
Hello & welcome to WI, Nora. Looks like Nora’s ready for the pool.
Siku is still deciding….
Nora was already in & playing, but stopped over to persuade Siku. 😍
Let’s go Siku….jump in!
Siku’s not quite ready for the plunge….

At last…..Siku is in!!

Michelle,
What Wonderful photos! It seems these two are getting along famously. I love every single one of these pics, especially the kissing photo. They show the unfolding of a love story. Thanks for sharing.

Dear Michelle!
I agree with Molly’s enthusiastic response: these are really great photos of the flirtation between Nora and Siku. Nora seems to be a very talented animator and seductress, and the pictures are very lively and vibrant. I wish them both all the best!

Liebe Michelle,
eine tolle Fotosession hat dir das bärische Liebespaar gezeigt.
Nora hat die ganze Palette der Überredungskunst aufgeboten, um Siku ins Wasser zu locken für eine schöne Badespass Party.
Vielen Dank und liebe Grüße

Nora und Siku sind inzwischen ein harmonisches Paar geworden und was sich liebt, das neckt sich!!
Das zeigen auch die beiden Eisbären auf diesen gelungenen Fotos…🐻❄️🐻❄️💝😊
