A white day in Rostock

16.1.2023 – Photos by Gisela Hentschel

When I’m publishing this article the snow has probably melted away. However, I love to publish photos of polar bears in the snowy enclosure so here we go.

First a nice family portrait

Wake up, Sis! Mama told me the snow may melt away very soon so we must enjoy it as long as we can.

The rocks can be quite slippery ….

… so it takes a while until a little polar bear can climb up …

… but, of course, she managed! Chapeau!

Tender moments with mama are always on the daily schedule.

The games in the snow made Skadi and Kaja hungry so it was time for mama’s milk bar.

After the yammy meal a nice nap was needed.
