Thank you so much for sharing your photo’s of Ralph’s unbelievably amazing experience with the polar bears in Aalborg.
Ralph certainly made a strong connection with them and I cannot begin to imagine how this must have felt.
I do know how special it is to actually feed these beautiful white furry giants, so thanks must also go to Aalborg Zoo for allowing visitors on the day to feed them. 🐻‍❄️💕🐻‍❄️💕🐻‍❄️

these are wonderful photos you took with Ralph and his beloved polar bears. Ralph, I still remember your reports and the bears’ great interest in your bags.

Ralph, your patient observation shows that the bears are happy to interact with the visitors if they are willing to observe and linger and not just walk past like many visitors. Yes, and of course dogs are also perceived as potential prey.
Oh yes, there were countless photos with small children and dogs and Knut on the windscreen back then…

The behind-the-scenes feedings are of course an absolute highlight that everyone envies you for!

Mervi, many thanks for this lovely entry and best wishes!
Britta-Gudrun

It’s plain to see that Ralph has completely lost his heart to the largest land predator on earth… And the polar bears seem to know and appreciate this, the way they present themselves to him at the window: strong, powerful, feisty, but also curious or quietly “smiling”. It was certainly the absolute highlight of this visit to the zoo when he was allowed to feed them and I am delighted for him that this was possible.
Thank you for this lovely report!

Hugs
Anke

You wrote a lovely story and took the wonderful pictures of Ralph.
It is great to know that there is a glass plate between Ralph and a bear.

But so or so, the bears & Ralph had their fun with the meetings. To feed the animals, is a special privilege and fun, for shure. Thank you for the nice photos, dear Molly % Mervi!
