It looks like the snow has come to stay in Novosibirsk which, of course, makes our polar bear friends Gerda, Kai, Belka and Strelka very happy.

The twin girls loved their enclosure even without snow but now the white stuff has made their home perfect.

Naturally, rolling in the soft snow is a great pleasure ….

Kai thought it was a perfect morning when he came out and saw the snow.

We polar bears don’t need any jewels. Some snow in my nose is much more elegant than boring diamond ear rings and things like that! I’m sure you agree!
