Now that the Siberian cold had reached almost the whole Europe it’s inevitable that my thoughts go to our polar bear friends – especially to a certain magic bear that no longer is physically with us. However, we all have so many wonderful memories of him that we still can feel his presence very stongly.

Während meiner letzte Besuch zu Berlin hat ich das Vergnügen einige Malen den Kulinarische Ereignissen mit zu erleben, der jeder Tag am Eisbärengehege im Zoo Berlin stattfinden. Brunch Zeit um 10.30 ist Zweifellos das Hohepunkt des Tages für Tosca, Nancy und Katjuscha. Nicht das es so viel andere Hohepunkte gibt mit der Mangel an Beschäftigung für Eisbärinnen im Zoo Berlin …

Dear Mervi,
Four years KNUTITOURS means a second home with a cosy place for all of us. Of course, for you it doesn’t mean ONLY fun as you are doing a lot to keep Knutitours running.
Let’s take Knutitours’s Birthday as another chance to say THANK YOU for all you have done and for all you are doing for us. Knutitours together with KnutisWeekly is a unique place to get a lot of information about polar bears, bears in general and all other animals

Dedicated to all my fans in Stuttgart
Since many of you – just like me – haven’t seen a single snow flake this Winter I thought you would like to see more of Wilbär in the snow. He will also share his best beauty secrets with us! Bear hugs to you all from Mervi

How do two lovely polar bears living in a Winter paradise spend their days? I asked Herr Wilbär and he kindly agreed to tell us and he also allowed Anders to take some beautiful photos of him and Ewa. Wilbärle, the stage is yours!

Since it’s been quite a while I had a chat with our fluffy bear angel boy I decided to do as I’ve done before. I bought a big bag filled with croissants and made a cup of cappuccino. After having laid the table I closed my eyes – and it worked! All of a sudden I felt a gentle tap on my shoulder and when I opened my eyes – there he was!

It’s time to summarize the year that’s gone. I don’t think I’m wrong saying that we’re all glad this awful year is over. So much sadness, so much sorrow, so much anger and bitterness….

We all miss our beloved Knuti but take a look at the sky and you will find the dippers – close your eyes and you will see our magic bear wawing his paw!
With this little Christmas story Knuti’s Weekly and the editorial staff wish you all a Merry Christmas. Remember – miracles DO happen!

I’m very happy and proud to present you these fantastic photos by Anders Björklund. Orsa really is a Winter Wonderland for Wilbär and Ewa. Knuti’s Weekly sends belated happy birthday wishes to the lovely polar bears and, of course, the best possible greetings to the keepers as well! Thank you, Anders, for sharing your awesome pictures with us. Bear hugs from Mervi

Dear friends, the December visit to Berlin was very different from the previous visits and it’s difficult to express in words all the emotions we all had. However, I’ll give it a try….
