Full-length view, the entire figure of Almaz visible from head to feet, standing upright and centered — a sturdy, broad-chested young polar bear cub with a solid, stocky build and strong rounded shoulders. His fur is thick and snowy white with a faint silvery sheen along the back, slightly scruffy around the neck. He has a wide friendly face, a coal-black nose, small dark glossy eyes full of warmth, and rounded ears. His big padded paws end in dark pads and short blunt claws, planted firmly on frosty ground. In one raised front paw he proudly holds up a glittering icy New Year greeting card, cheeks lifted in a happy grin. The setting is a snowy Khabarovsk zoo enclosure at dusk, soft snowdrifts, a small frozen pond and bare frosted trees behind him, gentle snowfall drifting down.
