Get ready to meets Kaja and Skadi, the charismatic Rostock polar bear twins now residing in the heart of Estonia's capital, Tallinn. The sibling bears have beautifully assimilated to their new surroundings, as reported by the Tallinn Zoo, where they've been nothing but boisterous and full of energy since their arrival.

Just a few days after setting foot in Estonia, Kaja and Skadi have proven themselves to be lively and eager for adventure, much to the delight of the zoo staff. These dynamic duo are thriving and just can't get enough of their new digs. Zoo spokesperson Anita Tamm shared her enthusiasm with the German Press Agency, expressing that the bears have adapted impressively well since their relocation.

Speedy Adaptation - Lost in Adventure

The twins embarked on their exciting new journey to Tallinn on Wednesday. By Thursday, they were already exploring and getting acquainted with their new environment and caretakers, as reported by Tamm. They made their initial public appearance in the Polarium, taking their first steps cautiously before leaping into action, dashing around their enclosure and splashing into the water with reckless abandon!

With their respective weights tipping the scales at 200 kilograms each, Kaja and Skadi loved nothing more than a good swim. Tamm couldn't contain her joy, exclaiming, "They really love to swim!"

Animal keeper from the Rostock Zoo accompanied the polar bear twins to help them adjust during their first crucial days in Tallinn. After spending over two years in close quarters with Kaja and Skadi, it was heart-wrenching for Sarah Drefien to bid them farewell.

Star-Studded Debut in Tallinn

Since its founding in 1939, the Tallinn Zoo has become a beloved institution in the Estonian community. The arrival of the two German polar bear twins has piqued the interest of every major news outlet in the country.

As per a report by Estonian radio, while there's no specific information available about media attention dedicated to the polar bears' arrival, such events are usually highly publicized due to the public's fascination with exotic and endangered species and their educational significance. Moreover, the twins were welcomed by two fellow polar bears - the vivacious five-year-old sisters, Inuki and Imaq.

Sibling Bear Royalty Makes Its Mark

All eyes were on the new arrival of Kaja and Skadi, who now share their name with none other than Estonia's very own, Kaja Kallas, former prime minister and current EU foreign affairs chief. The breath-taking coincidence has certainly added an intriguing new layer to the polar bears' story.

While no further details are available, we can only imagine the level of interest that surrounds the exciting addition of these stunning polar bear siblings to the Tallinn Zoo!
