21.1.2026 – Photos by Pat Waldron
It has been snowing and it may snow again but Yuma has decided to declare the football season for polar bears open!
Of course, a ball is a very important thing when you play football – but first a nice swim with the ball. At the same time a thorough quality control was done, too.
Time to bring it to land.
Now I need to find a nice spot for training!
This looks acceptable. I can see my feathered supporters are here, too. 🙂
And now, let’s start kicking!
Philip Baker took these photos of Sisu’s meeting with the gulls.
Aysa trying to make her babies take a nap.
It’s not the easiest thing to do ….
… but finally the kids fell asleep and Aysa can allow herself some rest, too.
Dear Pat!
Balls are great toys for polar bears, especially when combined with water, where they can swim and play with them endlessly. I wouldn’t be surprised if these intelligent and playful animals also play football with a ball.
The little lions have grown quite a bit, but they are still adorable.
The pictures and the text by Mervi go together wonderfully once again. Thank you very much!

Dear Pat!
Yuma played very good with a ball.
The lions are very cute.

Das sind tolle Fotos von Yuma mit dem roten Ball und es sieht in der Tat so aus, als wolle er damit Fußball spielen…👍🐻❄️👏
Auch das ausgeliehene Foto von Sisu mit den Möwen, ein Geschenk für
Mervi, ist gelungen! 👍🐻❄️😊
Auch wenn die kleinen Löwen ordentlich gewaschen sind, wissen sie die Mama zu beschäftigen…😉
Liebe Pat, fussballspielende Nähen sind einfach klasse@
Die jungen Löwen sind sehr groß geworden und halten ihre Mutter in Bewegung. So soll das auch sein.
Danke und liebe Grüße Britta-Gudrun
