The Newest, Cutest Baby Animals from the World's Zoos & Aquariums

Little Polar Bear Meets the Big World

Little Polar Bear cub at Aalborg Zoo 1

For the first time last week, mama Polar Bear "Malik" coaxed her three month old cub out of their cozy den for a little outdoor adventure at Denmark's Aalborg Zoo. Since Zoo veterinarians have not yet been able to safely examine the cub, the sex is still undetermined. In the wild Polar Bears most often hunt along the edges of sea ice. Unfortunately global warming threatens the bears' habitat and the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) has classified the Polar Bear as vulnerable to extinction.

    So adorable. Not to be anthropomorphic, but look at the love of the mother bear. Breaks my heart to think that they are in danger due to global warming. Think people! Think!

    I would love to see this pair in action. I wonder if there’s a video available somewhere. Mama bear looks like she’d be such a gentle and attentive mom to that adorable ball of fluff.
