Nora and Siku – family planning

13.4.2026 by Michelle Rippey

Inquiring minds want to know how this polar bear couple in Henry Vilas Zoo is doing. My observations say they’re doing really well. Yes, there has been lots of breeding. We’ll let the 📷 tell their story. Have a beautiful day! ✌️❤️&🐻‍❄️

Yes, there has been lots of this….🥰

  1. Das alte Trallala-Spiel… 🙂
    wobei ich dabei immer gemischte
    Gefühle habe. Noch mehr kleine
    Bärchen, für die es dann später
    keinen Platz gibt? Aber seis drum.
    Lassen wir ihnen ihren Spaß… 🙂

  2. Dear Michelle!
    Thank you for the pictures of Siku and Nora. It is great to see them breeding.
    Hugs

  3. Ob an Land oder im Wasser, Nora und Siku mögen sich jedenfalls sehr, wie es die Fotos zeigen…🐻‍❄️🐻‍❄️💝
    Wir werden sehen, was am Ende dabei herauskommt….😉

  5. Dear Michelle!
    Your photos aren’t exactly suitable for viewing by young people… A bear has to do what a bear has to do. If their courtship ends up resulting in young ones, it won’t come as a surprise. As much as I’m happy for the two of them to enjoy their romance, I’m also sceptical about where their offspring will end up.
    Thanks for sharing!
    Hugs
