Sisu – the gourmet guy

22.1.2019 – Photos by Marko Junttila, Ranua Wildlife Park

Terve! Hello! I’m sending frosty but warm greetings (can I write so?) to all the readers of this magazine. Although the weather is could and the roads icy many animal lovers come to visit mama and me.

If you’re wearing warm clothes the weather is no problem! This path leads to our enclosures.

If the visitors are staying in the Gulo-Gulo cottages they can even enjoy this Laavu (Lean-to). They can light the fire place to keep them warm.

Now it’s time to tell you something about our activities. We start the day saying ‘good morning’ to each other in a polar bearish way. This time a crow joined us in our morning ritual.

Our ritual is very much like that of the inuits ….. 🙂

When you see the following photos you may think that I’m still a baby. Mind you – I’m a big boy now but I think mama’s milk is the yammiest nourishment for me so let me tell you that I’m just a big GOURMET GUY!

Luckily mama agrees with me and she still keeps the ‘Mamman Maitobaari’ (Mama’s Milk Bar) open for me!

Venus: Oh bear, is that boy hungry!!

Venus: Well, feeding Sisu is my duty and I don’t mind the nursing. A growing polar bear boy needs lots of energy and I can offer him that! I want to make sure he will grow to an impressive adult polar bear.

I’m a very lucky polar bear having such a caring and loving mama.
