Today we celebrate the Internationa Women’s Day. I think all polar bear females are real iron ladies taking care of their off spring even under the hardest circumstances.
Even the polar bear mothers in the zoos and animal parks do a great job raising their kids. I want to present one of them – our beloved Flocke who has raised four cubs.
We fell in love with this polar bear already when she was a hand raised cub in Nuremberg. Now she’s a most beautiful and charming adult.
There were doubts if Flocke could be a good mother but she proved to be perfect for raising a baby bear. Her first born was Hope that after having spent a few years in Orsa came to Jimmy’s Farm. There the mother and the daughter were meeting again. Unexpectedly Hope died there at a young age.
Flocke has even given birth to triplets Tala, Indiana and Yuma.
It’s unusual that all three cubs survive but Flocke’s did!
Now Indiana and Yuma are living in the Yorkshire Wildlife Park and are doing fine.
Tala lives at Jimmy’s Farm together with mama Flocke and auntie Ewa.
Flocke and Tala have a special bond and seem to be very devoted to each other.
Our beloved Flocke proved that even a hand raised polar bear female can become a perfect mama bear!
With this little article I want to celebrate all women – no matter if they are two legged or four legged, with or without children!
