Polar bear Mika celebrates his first birthday – Karlsruhe Zoo is celebrating!

On November 3rd, 2025, Karlsruhe Zoo is holding a special celebration: polar bear Mika is celebrating his first birthday! For this special occasion there was a magnificent cake that delighted both the birthday child and the numerous visitors. Polar bears, also known as Ursus maritimus, are fascinating animals that live on the coasts and ice of the northern polar regions. Mika is an absolute highlight at the zoo, where polar bears are very popular due to their impressive size and fascinating behavior.

These majestic animals are not only one of the largest land-based predators, but also masters of swimming and hunting. Male polar bears can grow up to 2.50 meters long and weigh over 500 kilograms, while females can be around 1.60 to 2.50 meters tall and weigh between 150 and 300 kilograms. Their yellowish-white fur and thick layer of fat beneath their black skin help them survive in the cold Arctic conditions. People are eager to learn more about their way of life and survival in nature as polar bears are now considered endangered and their population is estimated at around 26,000 animals, as numerous reports show.

Sporting successes and political events

But there's not just something going on at Karlsruhe Zoo today. There is also exciting news in sport: Italian tennis player Jannik Sinner won the trophy at the Masters 1000 in Paris! This shows once again that he is one of the emerging talents in tennis and will certainly delight his fans in Italy and beyond.

Back in Germany, Federal President Frank-Walter Steinmeier enjoyed a warm welcome from Ghanaian Foreign Minister Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa at the Kotoka International Airport in Accra, Ghana. Such visits not only promote diplomatic relations, but also show the importance of international cooperation.

Crime and security

Unfortunately, there is also less positive news from the capital. A man who is said to have planned an attack was arrested in Berlin. The police at the Tiergarten district court reacted quickly and brought the situation under control. Such incidents remind us of the challenges that exist in urban areas and highlight the need for constant vigilance.

Overall, November 3, 2025 is a day full of events and emotions - be it celebrating a young polar bear, celebrating sporting successes or raising awareness of the current challenges in society. Who would have thought that a single day could present so many facets?
