Polar bear hockey with Nora

8.4.2026 by Michelle Rippey

My visit to Henry Vilas Zoo (Madison) on the 23rd of March. 🐻‍❄️ Nora was a busy gal and demonstrated a bit of hockey polar bear style. Here’s Nora & a few other friends. Have a happy day! ✌️❤️&🐻‍❄️🦡🐫

Whoa….that’s a big puck, Nora! Way to let it fly….

  1. Dear Michelle!
    The pictures of Nora are great. She had a funny toy too.
    I like the badgers very much.
    Hugs

  2. Dear Michelle!
    I’m delighted that you found Nora so lively and playful. In some scenes, she reminded me of Knut, who used to hug his toys in a similar way. She’s a pretty and charming bear.
    The badger looks rather cuddly and a bit curious, and the camel seems relaxed and content.
    Ihanks for sharing!
    Hugs
    Anke

  3. Vielen Dank für die schönen Fotogrüße von Nora, die so ausgelassen mit ihrer roten “Spule” spielt !!👍🐻‍❄️👏😊
    Die beiden Dachse Bagger und Kaminsky, sowie das Kamel Luther lassen es hingegen ruhiger angehen…
    Wobei Nora nach der Spielrunde ja auch eine Mütze Schlaf brauchte…😉

  4. Nora ist eine excellente Sportlerin und zu den Frisuren der Kamele passt das Lied: Ich habe die Haare schön, ich hab die Haare schön!
