The polar bears in the Novosibirsk Zoo have been able to enjoy snow for some weeks now. This time you meet Belka, Strelka and papa Kai. Gerda was Indoors on the day Arkadi took the photos.

We check that everything’s fine every day. This looks solid enough!

No matter wher we go – there’s snow everywhere! Hopefully it will stay all Winter long!
