The heat is on even in Novosibirsk but our friends Belka and Strelka spend a lot of time in the water.
The keepers served their food in the pool. This time it was a big fish.
Oh, what luxory! Dinner in the water!
Of course, the fish tastes yammy even on land.
Have you noticed that all five polar bears have wonderfully white and fluffy furs?
I hope even Belka and Strelka has an ‘arctic corner’ in their enclosure although it offers more shadow than the other enclosures.
As you may know there will be new and bigger enclosures for the polar bears. Let’s hope there will be enough space for all these bears including poor Rostik! According to the zoo he’s still in Novosibirsk although the visitors can’t see him.
Gerda and little Umka looking if their fans are there.
But why those tapir lips …. 🙂
Maybe they were just thirsty ….
One morning there was a nice surprise for Gerda and Umka. Their names were there!
I don’t know what the orange stuff is but it was nicely served!
After a good meal it’s great to cool off on snow.
Naturally papa Kai was treated with a yammy fish, too.
