Dear Veronika and Hans,
it is wonderful that you always bring the toys for polar bears.
Sesi still let her daughter drink her milk 🙂

Dear Veronika and Hans,

I’m always fascinated when I see a red and white hat without seeing Bear with me. The little hat without the bear is big. The little hat with the bear is small. The comparison always shows me how huge the bears are.
Mothers are undoubtedly at the mercy of their children and cannot say NO!

Thank you for your enchanting report.
Hugs,
Anita

Dear Veronika, dear Hans!
Thank you for the mother/child pictures from Mulhouse. The bears were certainly happy about your presents and are now regulating the traffic in a bear-like way… 😉
There are certainly reasons why some polar bear mothers reject their children earlier than others. But I find it remarkable and beautiful that there are still some mothers who maintain the bond with their children, mostly daughters, for a long time and nurse them beyond the “normal” period.
Since Britta-Gudrun’s post, I’ve had a picture of a thumb-sucking polar bear cub in my head – very sweet and, in memory of Knut, also sad…
Dear Mervi! Thank you for editing!

Hugs
Anke

Dear Veronika, Hans & Mervi,

this long nursing time of bear mothers is always very touching and besides the nutritional value, the cubs also need this when they are excited or insecure.
From therefore one can understand well, why at that time Knut sucked so devotedly at T. Dörfleins hands and later, when that was no longer possible even at his own paws extensively. Babies comfort and soothe themselves by sucking their thumbs and suck themselves to sleep.

Thank you for the beautiful photos and best regards!

Dear Hans&Veronika (& Mervi)
Indeed its always amazing to see,
how patient polarbear mothers are
with their growing offspring. 🙂
I hope, Anori&Kara are fine too ?
With a little luck, I will met
them in November, on my tour to
the south – I am excited ! 🙂
