It just so happens I ❤️ bears, so here’s the last bear I visited….🐻❄️ Anoki at the Seneca Park Zoo (Rochester, NY). Anoki will turn 30 on Nov 20th and she looks AMAZING! Here’s Part 1 of this beautiful lady 🐻❄️. Have a happy day! ✌️❤️&🐻❄️
Good morning, Anoki 😍
I heard you don’t go in your pool much anymore….
Take that 📸!!
Time to demonstrate what a 🐻❄️ loves to do after exiting the pool. Fyi..Anoki spent a lot of time in her pool during my visit (more pool to come).
You look huggable, but definitely NOT advised 😀
Let’s roll, Anoki 😍
Ahh….grass feels so good…
“I’m not done yet!”
Every captive bear should have grass!
Ready to move to a different spot?
Yep….where’s Anoki?
There she is…😍 Anoki is such a fun 🐻❄️ to photograph….she is well aware of her audience. 🥰
At almost 30 years of age Anoki is looking great & moving with ease. Yes, Anoki….you are a Rochester favorite of many🥰
The after pool time look is almost perfect …. One last sniff & …
Perfection 🥰
Looking absolutely amazing, Anoki😍
Part 2 to come soon
What a lovely and playful old lady ! 🙂
Dear Michelle!
Thank you for the introducing Anoki to us. She showed you how good she can swim and roll in the grass.

Michelle,
Anoki prefers to use natural perfume rather than have a daily shower.
Beauty comes from within, and she has plenty of that!
I wish her continued good health and thank you for your lovely photos!
Anoki ist eine sehr schöne Eisbärin und trotz des fortgeschrittenen Alters noch recht aktiv!🐻❄️👌
Fotografiert zu werden hat ihr wohl gefallen, auch wenn sie sich so ein bisschen verstecken wollte..🐻❄️😉
Dear Michelle!
If elderly female polar bears look so good and are clearly enjoying their lives to the full, then the zoo in question must have done a lot of things right.
It’s a joy to see Anoki rolling around in the grass with such obvious delight!
Thank you for this lovely first part!
Hugs
Anke
