The polar bears in the Copenhagen Zoo had a cool surprise on a hot day in July! Nine tons of snow was donated to the white fluffy giants.

Lynn and Imaq were, of course, very happy about the unexpected gift.

Some ‘Zoocamp participators’ aged 8-10 years helped to spread the snow in the enclosure so there were even many interesting scents …

Oooops! OK, this isn’t exactly the Hahnenkamm but it’s still wonderful to try some downhill gliding. 🙂

After the Winter sports in the Summer a nice snack was very welcome.

Imaq is now almost as big as mama Lynn. How time flies …..

    Liebe Mervi,

    der Vergleich mit dem Hahnenkamm-Rennen ist witzig und dass diese Eisüberraschung gut bei den
    Bären angekommen ist, sieht man auf einen Blick.
    Ich würde mich freuen, wenn alle Zoos solche winterlichen Überraschungen für ihre Bären in heißen Sommertagen anbieten würden!

    Herzliche Grüße
    Britta-Gudrun

    Ein echter dänischer Eisbär. Spezialität: Fleisch-Weitwurf. Fand ich in diesem Fall echt lustig.

    Die Dänen sind halt immer ein ‘Hingucker’, egal ob Eisbären klein oder groß, andere Tiere oder Menschen!

    Thank you very much, dear MERVI, that you brought the little snow-party for and with the Copenhagen polar bears to us!

    Dear Mervi
    Inuvik seems to have grown even faster than Imaq last year.
    Thank you for this nice story. I have only to close my eyes to be back there.

    Hello Ralph!

    Sorry, I mixed the names. The young bear is, of course, Imaq! Thanks for having the hawk eyes! 🙂

    Dear Mervi!
    Thank you for this refreshing update from the Copenhagen Zoo!
    It is plain to see that Lynn and Imaq really appreciated this cool surprise by their keepers and enjoyed to roll around and especially that downhill gliding to the fullest.
    Imaq reminded me of Knut when she threw the meat into the pool…

    Since it cooled down in Berlin in the last few days I´m not getting envious at all… 😉

    Hugs
    Anke

    Liebe Mervi,
    Leider sehen wir viel zu wenig von Lynn und Imaq, jetzt schon über 1Jahr alt und ein Teenager.
    Mit dem Essen spielen, da kann der Hunger nicht groß sein aber Hauptsache der Bär hat Spaß.
    Vielen Dank für die Bilder und das Video aus dem Zoo Kopenhagen.
    Liebe Grüße Moni K
