You spotted a great moment. Look how carefully he hugs her with his giant paw. Lovely!

Thanks for your comments. Zoo is indeed important to spot rare or endangered species, but I had the chance to see a wild polar bear in the Svalbard archipelago in september (but unfortunately, I hadn't the chance to take a pic), so seeing those gorgeous animals in a zoo, it always breaks my heart :-(
