Many of us had hoped there wouldn’t be cub/cubs in Novosibirsk this season but now a cute cub is here.
Of course, the sweetie immediately stole our hearts.
Cute than cute – sweeter than candy!
As far as I know the baby’s gender is still unknown.
I wonder what the name will be …
Mama Gerda is, naturally, happy and proud of her baby bear.

Mama’s making sure there aren’t any ‘threatening things’ around.
Hmm, that wall must be checked!
OK, it looks quite solid. Good to know! Although I’m still very small I will be bigger!!
The big sisters Belka and Strelka live in the neighbourhood.
A nice nap together is never wrong!
Papa Kai can just chill because Gerda is raising the baby.
Knuti’s Magazine wishes this lovely family all the best!




















Ja,das Allerbeste für die gesamte Familie! 💓🥰 Das Baby ist oberzuckersüß!!! 😍
Gerdas Nachwuchs ist wirklich ein flauschiger Wonneproppen, der einem mitten ins Herz tappst…🐻❄️❤
Auch diesem Eisbärenkind wünsche ich alles GUTE!!!💝
Während Gerda sich dem Nachwuchs widmet, genießen Belka und Strelka nach wie vor ihr Zwillingsdasein und Papa Kai kann die Ruhe genießen…🐻❄️🐻❄️🐻❄️😊
Dear Arkadi!
Thank you for the absolutely adorable photos! I would have liked to give Gerda a break, but she seems happy and well, and the little one is simply charming.
I wish mother and child, and the rest of this lovely family, all the very best!
Hugs
