After a good night’s sleep it was time for Momo and her son Momota to wish each other a good morning and a happy day.

I want to pose nicely for her camera with my new toy.

The visitors must love to see what a good ball player I am.

Thank you for the applause but now I want to spend some time in the wet element.

Did you know I have a friend in the water? Doesn’t he look just like me?

Here are some nice close-ups of me.

My nose remains black despite the bath! Isn’t that amazing?

I simply can’t help being so adorable!

Although I’m almost a perpetual motion machine even I get tired.

A nap – a very short nap mind you! – is sometimes needed!

Momota is growing ‘according plan’ – here’s his weight on the 10th of September.

Mama Momo is usually very busy keeping an eye on her baby boy Momota but sometimes she’s having a happy hour for herself.

When the keepers throw fish in the pool she’s skilfully catching them in her mouth.

  1. Momo ist eine geschickte Jägerin und Fischerin und das wird sie ihrem kleinen Frechdachs auch noch beibringen, obwohl auch das Schönsein eines kleinen Bären die erste Disziplin ist.

    Danke für die bezaubernden Fotos und den witzigen Text, liebe Hasumi und Mervi!

  2. Hasumi Nobuo!
    Dear Hasumi Nobuo!

  3. Dear Hasumi Nobuo!
    These are wonderful photos from Japan! Momo and Momotu seem to be really enjoying their time together and spending a lot of time in the water – with toys and fish. I particularly like the reflection of the little bear, the nose, which surprisingly stays black, and the ‘perpetual motion machine’ that’s grown tired.
    Thank you very much!
    Hugs
