16.1.2025 – Photos by Arkadi Laptenko and Sergej Iltjakov
The polar bear sisters Belka and Strelka are almost always on the run so it’s not so easy to catch them together in a photo. However, this time they both appear in each and every photo!
Good morning, dear Sis!
What shall we do today?
Oh, look – we have a feathered visitor!
Have you any ideas of what we could do today?
I know, we arrange a race on the steps!
Oh bear, we seem to be running on opposite directions …
…. now we’re talking – or rather growling.
I think we must run downwards ….
… or was it upwards ….
Whatever, it’s great fun to play on our snowy steps ….
….. and we are both winners of the race! 🙂
We are best friends!
Where did my sister go?
I’m right here!
Why don’t you join me on the top of our ‘castle’?
Here I am, dear Sis.
If these are not happy faces I don’t not what are!
Many people claim polar bears have no facial expressions but I really don’t agree!
Let me tell you a secret or two …
A polar bear polka is a perfect ‘finale’ of this article – don’t you agree?
