Twin polar bear brothers Kiska and Koluk demonstrate a real polar bear plunge at the ABQ BioPark
At the annual volunteer dinner (August 2021) at the ABQ BioPark, twin polar bear brothers Kiska and Koluk entertained us during their feeding time with a real polar bear plunge.
The brothers are 25 years old and enjoy fetching the 10-lbs of trout that the keeper throws to them each day. Kiska and Koluk have a beautiful habitat complete with 20-foot water slide, waterfalls, a 14-foot-deep pool, an air-conditioned cave, and water that is kept cold with large chillers.
Enjoy the video below and some sunset photos with Kiska and Koluk at the ABQ BioPark!
Thanks for reading and happy travels!

Mark Aspelin, The New Mexico Travel Guy (www.newmexicotravelguy.com), is a travel writer, conservation biologist, project manager, and author of two books. He’s visited over 100 countries and all 50 U.S. states—just enough to land in the Travelers’ Century Club and make choosing a favorite place nearly impossible. He’s currently on a questionable mission to visit every town in New Mexico (there are over 500) and write a story about each one, with plans to wrap it up sometime before his early to mid 100s. Mark balances his writing with conservation and project work from his home base in the East Mountains near Albuquerque, New Mexico.
