Ho Ho Ho! Santa and his Elves have prepared frozen ice buckets filled with goodies for the Cincinnati Zoo Polar Bears.

Ho Ho Ho! Santa und seine Elfen haben gefrorene Eis Eimer
 mit Leckereien für die Cincinnati Zoo Polar Bears gefüllt vorbereitet.

Here they come! Little One and Berit
 approach their holiday treats with curiosity.

  nähern ihre Weihnachts-Leckereien mit Neugier.


It's Christmas colored Ice Bombes!
 With peanuts and fish.


Es ist Weihnachten farbigen Ice Bombes!

Berit licks the ice,
 but can't get to the goodies inside.


Berit leckt das Eis,
  kann aber nicht auf die Leckereien im Inneren.








Hmmm. just peanuts here.

Hmmm. Nur Erdnüssen hier.
Berit flips it over to get to the yummy fishies.

Berit klappt es über zu den leckeren fishies bekommen.
It's hard work to get at the fish. The paw helps.

Es ist harte Arbeit, um die Fische zu bekommen. Die Pfote hilft.

I detect a definite fish flavor. Maybe Mackerel?

Ich schmecke einen bestimmten Fisch Geschmack. Vielleicht Makrele?

 
After all, Fish is a traditional Christmas meal in Europe.

Schließlich ist Fisch ein traditionelles Weihnachtsessen in Europa.
 

Do I have to be ladylike? asks Berit.

Muss ich ladylike sein? fragt Berit.







Little One knows how to get to the fish.

More fish, please.


Mehr Fisch, bitte.
Are there any more fish in there?

Gibt es noch mehr Fische drin?

Just peanuts left?

Nur Erdnüssen übrig?

It still tastes like fish.
Berit enjoys the fish flavored green ice.


Es schmeckt noch nach Fisch.
Berit genießt den Fisch gewürzt grün Eis.


Little One has eaten all the fish in his frozen dessert.

  2. Hello Molly,
    what a wonderful Christmas report this is. I like the colours of the icebombs. These days I think, many polar bears enjoyed these wonderful Christmas treats.

    Our polar bear Yoghi in Munich had a fruit icebomb, too, and needless to say he liked it.

    Wishing you a Happy Christmas!

  3. Dear Caren,
    Thanks for your comments. While many bears may get Christmas treats, it is a lucky thing to be there to capture with a camera. I liked your pictures of Yoghi and his Christmas presents in Hellabrun Zoo in Munich. Maybe Giovanna will have a surprise for us shortly? We can only hope.
    Thanks for sharing Yoghi's Christmas fun.

    Molly
