Tom and Berta in the Zoo Prague

17.10.2022 by Martina Ho

Tom was born in 2007 in Zoo Brno together with his brother Bill, their parents are Cora and Umca. They were the first cubs raised at the Brno Zoo. Tom moved to Prague in 2009.

Berta was born in 2003 at the Prague Zoo (mother Bora, father Alík). At first they thought it was a boy, so he was named Albert. It was later discovered that she was a girl. They started calling her Berta.

I don’t go to the Prague Zoo very often, I don’t know the bears well personally. I live near Brno, so I often visit Cora.

Tom is a playful polar bear, he likes different toys, he likes to swim in the water. Berta is calmer, but she gets well with Tom and likes to play with him in the water. Their favorite food is sea fish. Unfortunately, it has not been possible to raise the cubs so far. But there is still hope.

They were separated during our visit. So I didn’t have the chance to see them together.
