🐻 Malla the brown bear has woken up from hibernation!
Today Malla slowly made her way out of her den and began exploring her enclosure after the long winter.
First some sniffing and looking around, then a few bites of pear and carrot.
After hibernation things start off quite slowly.
Malla can spend time outside in her enclosure at her own pace, but she may still feel sleepy and return to the den for another nap from time to time.
A bear waking up from hibernation is one of the sure signs that spring has arrived at Ranua Wildlife Park. 🌱
Mervi: On behalf of the readers of this magazine I wish Malla, Venus, Inuvik, Kara and all the animals in Ranua a pleasant Spring time! Of course, I wish the same to the keepers, vets and visitors!

Das sieht mir aber noch sehr winterlich aus,
aber Malla weiß es vielleicht besser.
