Happy new polar bear year!
Dec 30th, 2020 | By mervi | Category: Novosibirsk31.12.2020 – Photos by Anna Novikova, Arkadi Laptenko and Oksana Kalinina
Brrrr! It’s been really cold in Novosibirsk. The lowest temperature has been -40 Celsius! I’m sure the polar bears don’t mind but it must be challenging for all the zoo visitors. However, the people are used to the extremely cold Winters so maybe it’s not so bad for them either.
Is it too cold for the visitors? Maybe Anna, Arkadi and Oksana will come anyway ….
It’s been snowing, too, in Novosibirsk and the polar bear family is admiring the white surroundings.
Mom, where do the snow flakes come from? Is there an airplane pilot throwing them down?
Well, that’s a very good question …. hmm, I must consult your father about this matter.
Papa is napping now but I’ll ask him later.
Papa Kai is visiting the Napland. The snow makes a nice pillow and a warm blanket – at least for a polar bear. 🙂
Finally snow and ice!
Gerda, Shauna and Nordi having quality time together.
A nap every now and then is needed even during the white season. Isn’t this sweet!
It looks like Nordi is using his polarphone …. 🙂
Soon this year will be over and we can look forward to a new year.
Nordi is wondering what the year 2021 will be like. Well, que sera, sera!
Even Shauna seems to have same kind of thoughts …. or is she just meditating?
I don’t meditate – I think BIG thoughts!!
Shauna is gliding into the new year. Guten Rutsch!
Snow is a good soft pillow but even a plastic barrel is very useful and comfortable. Kai seems to be quite satisfied.
Another nice nap while waiting for the new year to make it’s entry.
Although the year 2020 wasn’t a very good year for the two legged creatures we polar bears in the Novosibirsk Zoo can’t complain.
Bye-bye old man 2020 – Welcome baby 2021!
Gerda, Kai, Shauna and Nordi wish you all a very happy new polar bear year!

Dear Mervi, Anna, Oksana and Arkadij
May I be the first to wish you a safe and happy 2021.
It is wonderful to see the Polar Bear family nestling in the snow.
Gerdi, Nordi, Shauna and Kai have made 2020 a lot more bearable.
Dear Anna, Arkadi and Oksana
Dear Gerda, Kai, Shauna and Nordi

That’s what one can call a ‘real winter-wonderland’! Beautiful and winter-appropriate photo
to start the last day of the year 2020.
Best reagards and thanks to to the natural white beauties (no need to pose! they always look great
by their natural Russian beauty!) and to their frequent visitors and home-photographers Anna Novikova,
Arkadi Laptenko and Oksana Kalinina!
And you have found sweet captions again, dear Mervi.
To watch and read all this was a most pleasant late start of my last 2020-day.
To MERVI
Just realized this most cute photo/collage in the right hand upper side of the actual ‘KWM cover page’.
It is soooo cuuuute! Thank you so much.
Stupid question: Is this Cute-KNUT?
Dear Dumba,
Yes, it’s Cute-Knut.

Ich schließe mich gerne an, und wünsche Mervi, Vesa und allen anderen “Akteuren” und stillen Lesern , sowie all unseren weißen Freunden einen guten Rutsch ins Neue Jahr, das hoffentlich besser wird als das alte es war.
Liebe Grüße

Dear Anna, Oksana, Arkadij and Mervi!
Thank you for these icy pictures from the winter wonderland!
I’m happy for the polar bears in Novosibirsk that winter is just their way and that they are enjoying it to the fullest. When I read how cold it is there, I started to freeze…. If I have my way, Father Frost can have his way in Siberia and be a bit milder here.
I would like to join the good wishes and wish everyone a happy and healthy! New Year.
Hugs
Anke
So beautiful white fluffies! Happy new year to all!
Hugs, Erika
Allen hier die besten Wünsche für das Neue Jahr,besonders auch dieser liebenswerten Eisbärchenfamilie!
