Dierenrijk Nuenen: Nivi is a boy!

by | Dec 17, 2019 | Lead articles

Nivi and Elva have celebrated their first birthday and on the same day the Dierenrijk Nuenen announced that Nivi is actually a boy – not a girl as has been believed so far.

No matter what gender the twins have – they are cuter than cute! I’m sure you agree.

A study of a most adorable face

And here’s a study of a cappuccino coloured polar bear in whole figure. 🙂

I think it’s Nivi holding the new toy.

A thorough examination of the new thingie is, of course, necessary!

Elva isn’t so interested although she – as all female polar bears – know how to use female slyness to get what she wants …. 🙂 Who says only foxes are sly? 🙂

Is this boy power?

Looks very macho ….. 🙂

Let’s see if I can throw this.

Oh yeah, now I’ve shown the toy who’s the big boss!

Come on, Nivi – come and play with me!

Splashing in the pool is so fun!

See what showers I can make!

Nice, tender moments between the sister and the brother are always on the schedule, too.

The visitors dream is to see the beloved bears as close as possible. The white fluffies seem to know that and occasionally make the dreams come true.

Nivi and Elva can entertain themselves so mama Frimas can afford some quality time for herself.

Papa Henk has all the time in the world to have time for himself. 🙂 A cosy moment with a snack  always makes him happy.

I wish the polar bear family in Nuenen a Merry Christmas! Of course, I wish the same to Hans who so generously has provided this magazine with fantastic photos during the year!
