Zum Klauen süß….!!!

Auf der Suche nach ihren Namen, fand ich zwar keine Namen, aber diese Fotos von Steve Tracy, der in Japan lebt und der die beiden und ihre Mutter zweimal besucht hat…Namen gibt es noch keine, da das Zoopersonal offensichtlich zögert, in die Innigkeit zwischen den Kleinen und ihrer absolut bezaubernden Mutter Rara einzugreifen…Mit dem Wissen, dass es in der Vergangenheit bereits peinliche Fehldiagnosengegeben hat, nur zu verständlich…

Sweet, aren’t they??? By the way, I am Denali, the father…and you won’t steal them!

Searching for name news on the Japanese twins , I didn’t find any names but I found the lovely photos of Steve Tracy, an Aussie (and Knut friend!!!) living in Japan who has visited the cubs and their Mom 2 times. Until now these little ones haven’t got any names as the gender could not yet be determined, the staff seems to be hesitant to intrude into the closeness between mom Rara and her cubs and as to gender issues, we all know that in the past there had been some mis-identification causing worldwide headlines last year…

-An older post about the Japanese cubs, you find here(dt., engl, japan.).
-And here more heartwarming photos of Steve Tracy, his other wildlife photos are worthwhile too!!
-The Marayuma Zoo site, where I found Denali, shows also some lovely pics…it’s all in Japanese but you can click yourself through the photos…
- And here again, the first video, and something about their first swim in April, also with video…

And sure, the outpost of Knut will keep you posted about the Sapporo twins…!
