I was in ZOOM Gelsenkirchen in December on two rather wet days and had time to go and visit the Asia area. I had visited it before. But this time because of the cold weather, I knew that the Orangs would not be outside on their island.

There is of course a lot else to see at ZOOM beside my favourite Polars. However, it is not always possible for me to film them on my phone.

The Polar Bears and Sealions have viewing glass windows at ZOOM Gelsenkirchen. Sadly, unlike Copenhagen, only the Sealions in ZOOM have a glass covered tunnel.

The improvements made in phone cameras have allowed me to be more adventurous in my choice of photos. Sharing Alaska with the Polar Bears are a family of very active Sealions.

I was able to spend two days in ZOOM Gelsenkirchen during my visit to Germany in early December 2019. As usual most of my time was spent in the Alaska section with the Polar Bears. My first stop is always with Antonia.

The relationship between male Polar Bears is similar to the rules of martial arts. Trials of strength are both a competition and a means of reinforcing trust.

At rather short notice I decided to take advantage of a break in the wet weather and head north to Doncaster by train for the day. I was lucky and both journeys were on time and comfortable.

Hertha is growing so fast that her famous blue Hertha team ball is no longer big enough. Tonja loves showing Hertha what a Polar Bear is able to do. Like all children, Hertha would rather play with the toy than watch it!

The Tierpark Berlin unlike to Zoo seems to understand that Polar Bears need a continual challenge to keep them happy and healthy. Tonja and Hertha are proof that this works.

The artificial ice sheet in the Tierpark Berlin is a favourite with Tonja and Wolodja. The huge roll that Tonja and Hertha have been given has added a new dimension to this feature.
