Polar bears "occupy" an abandoned station on Kolyuchin Island. 🔻A whole family of these majestic animals has been living on the abandoned territory for several years. They use the empty houses as shelters from bad weather, and on sunny days, they can be seen lounging on their bellies in the courtyard! • Косолапый (masc.) [ka-sa-la-pyj] = • Косолапая (fem.) [ka-sa-la-pa-ya] = • Косолапые (plural) [ka-sa-la-py-ye] Meaning: 1. Clubfooted, clumsy-footed (literally, to walk with feet turned inward). 2. A common, affectionate nickname for a bear in Russian folklore and speech. 🔻The word comes from косой(crooked) and лапа(paw). It's the most famous synonym for a bear, thanks to fairytales where the bear is called Мишка Косолапый. ▶️Other names for a bear in Russian #useful_vocabulary #news 😎RCR | Support | Boost
