Novosibirsk Zoo web camera polar bears Shilka. Novosibirsk webcams. Webcams of the zoo in Novosibirsk

Defenders of the bear wrote dozens of letters to various officials, even reaching the Kremlin. And not so long ago we met face to face with the management of the zoo. At the meeting, a warning was sounded from director Rostislav Shilo: “I will turn off the webcam in the enclosure with polar bears!” After all, the majority, looking at the suffering of the polar bear Gerda, yearning for her cub, wrote comments under the broadcast, sometimes not finding words. In response to online insults, the zoo put the threat into action: the webcams that showed the world the life of polar bears were turned off.

Please turn on the cameras! And you can turn off “comments,” polar bear fans voice a new request. Moreover, some zoo fanatics live in another city. - There are much more people who were silent and watched the life of the bears than those who are swearing here. The children were already used to it; they watched the broadcast every day. We don't have such a zoo in our city...

There is such an ancient wisdom: “People are offended only by the truth,” Lyudmila Kozachenko is ready to argue with this opinion. - And if the management, offended, turned off the cameras, does it mean that some “comments” hit the eye rather than the eyebrow? It is a pity, of course, that adults cannot agree among themselves. What example are we setting for children and animals? And although I am not a resident of Novosibirsk, I won’t ask and whine: “Turn on the camera, please.” They showed us the bears - thank you very much. Stopped - well, let's do other things.

Among the comments under the switched off broadcast there are some completely original ones. For example, some believe that her boyfriend Kai was allowed into the enclosure of the polar bear Gerda, and cupid and censorship intervened in the matter.

The bears are mated, says Yulia Kosach. - If there was a first date, and they didn’t break up, now the bears are on their honeymoon and having sex. They won't show us this.

But as the director of the zoo, Rostislav Shilo, told KP, Gerda and Kai’s date will take place after the New Year. And deputy director Olga Shilo admitted that the menagerie staff were simply tired of reading negative reviews about their work under the broadcast.

The bear is lying down, everyone writes: “Oh, she feels bad, she’s lying down!” The bear is walking - they write: “Oh, she’s worried, she’s walking abnormally,” says Olga Shilo. “Everyone, sitting at home, watches the video from the cameras and reproaches: “You’re not cleaning the enclosure properly, and you’re talking on the phone, but you haven’t washed that corner properly.” And constantly these discussions and comments. And the people who work with bears have higher education, with more than 10 years of work experience, by the way. Do you think they are pleased when someone they know says: “Today we saw how you were discussed, in what form you are a pool of soap”? Employees have been asking us for a long time: “Please turn off the cameras,” because it’s unpleasant for them.

And it seems that the zoo management complied with the request of its subordinates. But the public remained unheard - the menagerie firmly decided: the bear cub would still be sent for permanent residence overseas. There was no place for him in Russia. Or rather, money for this place and a new enclosure.

Komsomolskaya Pravda is following developments.

Street online cameras in Novosibirsk provide real-time views of Lenin Square, main transport junctions and bridges, the central park, the zoo and other city attractions.

Most Novosibirsk webcams are available around the clock, but some are turned on only during the daytime - according to their own schedule. Basically, online broadcasts on the Internet are provided by: “TTK - Western Siberia”, “Siberian Networks”, “Electronic City” and “Novotelecom” with the support of the “Common Cause” fund. Previously, 24 Megafon traffic webcams worked in Novosibirsk, but now this service is unavailable, and some TTK webcams have also been dismantled.

Please note: some broadcasts may not be available due to technical reasons.

New addition to the polar bear family Kaya And Gerda from Novosibirsk Zoo— perhaps the main positive event in the life of the city in February. No, of course, there were many other pleasant reasons to smile. But try to contain your emotion when looking at these photos!

Let us briefly remind you: white bear was born into a family of polar bears Kai and Gerda on December 7, 2015, and for some time his appearance was kept secret. This is the second birth in the polar bear family - the first-born, the public's star favorite Shilka, left the zoo under the rare species exchange program.

Since last week, the newborn bear cub began to take its first timid steps outside the den. He and his mother Gerda usually take walks at about 9 o'clock in the morning, when there are no people. However, it is quite difficult for visitors to see the animal, even if they arrive at the zoo on time: the enclosure is fenced with ribbons, and you cannot get closer than 4 m to it. This is done specifically so that visitors do not frighten the child.

The bears come out for a short time, about 5 minutes maximum. Gerda is the first to emerge from the den - after looking around the surroundings, she dives back and takes the child outside. She does not take her eyes off him for a minute - and sometimes she gives a maternal blow when the cub is too disgraceful. Fooling around like a child!

On Friday morning, a furry animal emerged from its hole with a piece of bread in its teeth. Zoo workers say that he even tried to taste the fish and lick the meat.

Zoologists still don’t know the gender of the cutie. They will be able to do this only after Gerda can be temporarily isolated from the baby and entered into the enclosure. So for now we can only guess based on external signs. For example, based on still timid attempts to growl, another squeak escapes from the mouth, but the lip puffs up a little like a man...

In addition, some habits betray his father's genes. For example, the urge to look at your own heels, suddenly sitting on your fifth point.

Kai, who had been resettled before Gerda’s birth, was doing the same thing in the neighboring enclosure at that moment, by the way. It seems like one face! Oh, that is, one muzzle.

As soon as the gender of the cub is known, the zoo will begin to come up with a name for the new pet. A week earlier, the website NGS.NOVOSTI invited readers to write their own options. Judging by the comments left under the previous article about the new addition to the bear family, Novosibirsk residents like the name the most Umka.
