A foggy day with grey bears in Orsa
Oct 28th, 2009 | By mervi | Category: Featured articles28.10.2009 by Pernilla Thalin, Orsa Polar World
Hello, I hope you don’t think I’m sending too many photos nowadays. I’m just so happy to have a new camera!
Here are some pictures from Sunday. It was very foggy and Wilbär and Ewa had made themselves extra handsome by rolling on the ground in the woods. It was difficult to see them in the fog. None of them wanted to go swimming so they looked filthy all day …. but so gorgeous and cute!
There should be colder weather coming towards the end of the week. We have tested the snowgun and everythings ready – we’re just waiting for the winter.
Our bears found the sound of the snowgun somewhat scaring at first but after a while they went closer to examine it, stood on their hind legs, looked at it as if they were saying: ‘What are you waiting for – give us some snow!’
Wilbär is heading to his favourite stone in the pond.
Both bears should have needed a bath this day. Ewa in her new fur makeup wasn’t interested in swimming….
… she just visited the ‘bar’ and had a sip of water.
Wilbär is lying on his favourite stone….
…playing a little but only wetting his paws – no swimming here either!
Today seems to be a lazy day, not so many visitors on a day like this – especially when we can hardly be seen.
Wilbär is playing peek-a-boo with the visitors thinking: ‘Maybe they don’t see me if I cover my face with the paws. I’m trying to learn how to make myself invisible just like the polar bear cubs in the wilderness make themselves invisible in the snow.’
Greetings from Pernilla, Ewa and Wilbär
Dear Pernilla,
Thank you once again for the lovely greetings from Orsa! Let me tell you that there are NEVER too many photos of our wonderful Wilbär and Ewa! I’m keeping my fingers crossed that the snow flakes start falling down soon.
Hugs from Mervi
Dear Pernilla, I am so grateful that you continue to bring us news about Wilbar and Ewa. And indeed, with or without their special make-up, they both look gorgeous. And of course, there must be a “lazy bear day” every now and then. We, humans, also do enjoy our weekends, so polar bears are entitled to choose whatever day for that purpose. And indeed, there are never toomany pictures, so, please do not hesitate to test your new camera (the more, the better for us!!). I am already looking forward to your report and pics of the two youngsters rolling and playing in the snow.
Kind regards,
Patricia
Dear Penilla,
thank you so much for your photos and your story from Willbär and Ewa! It is so great to see the both together in a wonderful area!
Best greetings from Munich

Dear Pernilla
The foggy pics of Wilbär on the cat walk to his island and lying there are very romantic.

Dear Pernilla,
in facht there are not enough pictures! *smile* I will never ever get tired of watching pics of “my” bärle and his sweetheart. Please test your new camera very thoroughly – I’ll gladly volonteer in jugding them.
The photo of Wilbär lying on this stone is simply gorgeous and that ‘watch-out’ pic just hilarious.
Thank you so much for sending photos and report and thus making my day!
Big, big *hug* and Grüssles from Wilbär’s hometown.
Dear Mervi,

Dear Pernilla,
Thank you very much for the fabulous photos of Wilbar and Ewa in the foggy, foggy dew. As everyone else has said, there can never be too many photos of these two lovely bears. I hope that you need to continue to test your new camera for a long time! They are so lucky to have their home at Orsa.
Dear Mervi,
Thank you again for establishing the contact with Pernilla at Orsa! Without you we would not have been able to get these lovely first-hand reports.
Hugs, Sarsam
Dear Mervi,
thanks to your good contact to Pernilla we again have news and pics from Wilbär and Ewa. I do hope that we will be spoilt in the same way from Marineland in a few months.
I’d like to thank you and Pernilla for the continuous news from Wilbär and Ewa.
Hugs, caren
Dear Mervi and Pernila:
Thank you both so much for the information about Wilbar and Ewa. They seem to have a wonderful life together.
I agree with Caren – I hope we can get similar information about Flocke and Raspi in Marineland after they leave Nurnberg!
LG, Christine
