When Nel visited the Rotterdam Zoo she found two polar bear guys who really enjoy each other’s company. What a great pleasure to see Nivi and Wolodja getting along so well!
This is what I call a real bear hug!
This looks like an inuit greeting …. or rather a very special polar bear greeting.
Let’s have a walkabout together and say ‘hello’ to our fans.
We don’t want to be disrespectful but we simply must present our gorgeous – somewhat dirty – boomsies to you! Bye bye for this time!
Dear Nel!
Thank you for the wonderful pictures of the two friends. I am very happy to know that Wolodja and Nivi are doing well together.
Hugs

How lovely that the two male bears Nivi and Wolodja are so fond of each other and have such a good time together! These bear hugs make your heart sing!
Thank you for showing us!

Eine fotografisch schön dokumentierte Bärenfreundschaft!
Vielen Dank und liebe Grüße
Ich erinnere mich noch gut an Klein-Nivi,
und nun ist so ein stattlicher Bär daraus
geworden. Schön, dass Wolo und Nivi sich
gut verstehen! 🙂
Thank you very much dear Nel and Mervi.
Best wishes to Nivi and Wolodja.
I am happy that they finally are good friends now
