Feeding of the polar bears at Mulhouse Zoo
First you'll see the three polar bears, conditioned and fixed on food as all animals in captivity, waiting for the zookeepers to arrive. Then as soon the keepers arrive Vicks, the male polar bear born at Rotterdam Zoo, is leaving the scene and seems not interested in the fish. But hunger makes him return to the pool. Hear the keeper calling his name in her charming French: “Viiiks!”. It turns out that Vicks' and his peers' real interest is not in the fish but in the dessert. Unfortunately, I totally miss the magic moment when the dessert – watermelons – are thrown in the water. Each of the polar bears get a watermelon, which is devoured as if they haven't had food for weeks. In the final shot the polar bears' taste for watermelon is shown.
