6.7.2026 – Photos by Imbi Taniel
The days have been very hot even in Tallinn but Skadi, Kaja, Imaq and Inuk know how to stay chilled and be cool! 🙂
All four girls have amazingly White and fluffy fur!
Of course, they look for a place in the shadow when the sun shine gets too hot.
Inuk
Imaq was sun bathing ….
…. but soon she found the water more inviting than the hot sunshine.
The swimming pool is also frequently visited.
On a hot day the water is the best play ground!
Sometimes is feels great just to float ….
I don’t know if she jumping into the pool or maybe she’s having a shower …. 🙂
Napping is necessary for some day dreaming. 🙂 This is Inuk.
Kaja
Skadi
Luckily there are shadowy spots in the enclosure.
The tiger likes the high grass that gives some protection from the sun.
The dhole looks a bit tired but very beautiful.
Such a nice smile!
Bye bye from Tallinn! We wish you all a pleasant Summer time!

















Liebe Imbi!
Danke für die Bilder von den 4 Bärinnen in Tallinn. Das Gehege ist groß und das Wasser ist kalt. Die Spielsachen gibt es auch.
Hugs

Die Fotos zeigen sehr schön, wie die Bären trotz und mit der Hitze zurecht kommen und du, Mervi, beschreibst es einmal wieder treffend.
Be cool ist zurzeit das Zauberwort, auch im sonst so kalten Tallinn.
Vielen Dank und liebe Grüße!
Ja, die vier Mädels genießen den Sommer zwischen wärmendem Sonnenschein und abkühlendem Bad im Wasser…Und zwischendurch darf es auch mal ein Nickerchen sein…👍🐻❄️🐻❄️🐻❄️🐻❄️😊
Sind die Mädels immer noch paarweise getrennt oder inzwischen alle Vier zusammen? 🐻❄️🐻❄️🐻❄️🐻❄️🤔
Dear Imbi, dear Mervi!
It’s amazing how well many polar bears seem to cope with the challenges of a heat wave. But we’re not in their shoes, so we don’t know just how much it’s affecting them. In any case, it’s good for them to have natural ground, shade, and plenty of water available. A pile of snow or ice every now and then would certainly be helpful, too…
