A very good morning wishes to you from Gerda, Belka and Strelka! A new day is beginning.

Gerda leads her twin girls to the Arctic Corner.

The idea of offering snow and ice to the polar bears is great. I’ve been glad to notice that many other zoos are doing the same.

No doubt the family is happy about their cool spot …

…. especially one of them. 🙂

After the ‘cool hour’ the family posed nicely to the visitors’ cameras. Thanks to the snow their furs are incredibly white!

Again one of the twins have found an interesting spot to observe the surroundings. 🙂

Time to go swimming.

Gerda seems to be wondering if the water is too warm.

Oh bear, there’s a traffic jam! 🙂

On a hot day water is the right element for a family meeting! 🙂

Finally the whole family was frolicking in the water.

Papa Kai was as cool as always – even on a hot day.
