Skibi Bear
our bear friend and helper
What can I tell you about myself? I'm a bear and I like bear things - nature, forests, mountains, hikes and also honey and rubbing my back against the bark of trees. I don't want to brag, but people say I'm a cool guy, a sportsman and a hero. My favorite sports are road cycling, fishing and skiing. My favorite food is bread with honey and blueberries. I love comic books, the wind at my back and the sun on my snout. I really like kids because they are fun, friendly, always on the go and like to play and do things. And I'm always willing to join them!
And now I'm going to introduce you to our whole team who make sure your kids have the best equipment to frolic and play sports outdoors, in nature, in all weathers. The team is made up of people and animals, so it's like a little zoo sometimes... :-)
Kateřina Princová
co-owner and main tamer
"Káča takes care of the project and Skibi the bear, that is me. She has a great imagination, is full of optimism and endless energy, which she can transfer to the whole Skibi team. She loves cycling and skiing the most and would like to learn how to fly a plane.
She loves all children, but her biggest love is a real little Prince, her son Kryštof. And me, even though I'm not a bear cub anymore. If she were an animal, she'd be a cat, because cats, she says, know the meaning of life. What about bears? Don't they know?"
Lukáš Prince
co-owner and chief marketer of our zoo
"Lukas is like my human dad. He took me in as a bear cub and taught me how to play sports. That's why we like the same sports - cycling, skiing and swimming. I think we're good at them, although Lukas should improve his crawl. :-)
With his son Krystůfek he now enjoys many of the things he has forgotten since childhood. If he could be an animal, he would want to be as strong as a bear, as cunning as a fox and as fast as a hare! :-)"
Iveta Aušková
manager of aviary
"Iveta is our main pilot. She runs the Skibi Kids shop and has a lot of running to do. Her favourite sport is kitesurfing. This is riding on the water surface on a board with the help of a steerable kite. I've tried it too, but I've been under the water more than on it :).
When I go to play sports with Iveta again, the only thing I'll do is bike or snowboard. I definitely won't try another crazy sport she wants to try - paragliding. Flying again! I'm sure it's beautiful, but I think a bear just belongs on the ground. If she could be an animal, she'd want to be a cicada. What else but an animal with wings..."
Kryštof Prince
junior nurse
"Kryštof is my human brother and friend. We deal with all the things together that adults will never understand. He likes water, and if it's deeper than a puddle, he'll dive in. He has been riding his bike and skiing since he started walking. We like to have adventures together, preferably in the company of Luke, Káča, Rafa the giraffe, Hugo the sloth, Dobra the zebra and Servác the rabbit. We like them because they are fun to be with and never leave us in the lurch, i.e. in trouble. And the worst is when trouble comes and there are no friends to help you out.
And what kind of animal would Christopher like to be? He'd like to be an owl because she's smart and he can fly."
Klára Cvachovcová
director of play and entertainment
"Klárka loves to play so much that she even invented a job for it. Director of play and fun. If I had known earlier that it was possible, I would definitely not have been a mere mascot! :-(
Although her directorship is actually quite a chore, as she has to wade through a lot of toys and books and pick out the best and most interesting ones to have a lovely time playing and having fun. She tries to make sure that the toys and books we offer have wit and ideas. See for yourself how she does it!"
Veronika Bobalová
giraffe keeper
"Verča is always in good mood and smiling. She can ride all kinds of boards - surfboard, snowboard, longboard and wakeboard. The only board she prefers to avoid is the iron one.
What she likes about kids is that they are fun and come into their own. I always thought kids were more like parents because if they were just their own, they would let themselves do everything, and that would turn out badly because kids don't have their wits about them yet, unlike adults and me.
As an animal, Veronica would like to be a dog. She admires their loyalty and devotion to humans. And she says they are beautiful. I don't know, am I really a bear?:-)"
