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….🥰
I’m just in awe of the size difference between the female & male….
Will Siku end up where he needs to be?
He did….though I’m not showing the photo. 🥰
Nora’s ready for a splash….
But first a few words for Siku…..
Siku is a VERY respectful male 🐻❄️……
Siku & Nora have been “doing it” since the 1st time i saw the pair together…..🥰
Who’s going first?
You’re up to something, Nora…..
Oopsie….it didn’t work. Siku caught up to you!
“Coming Nora!”
“My plan worked. By the time Siku got in….I was already out!”














So great to see how well they are getting along. Thanks for sharing.

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

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….😉

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!
