UPDATE! Buffalo Zoo’s Baby Polar Bear Romps In First Snow and Takes a Dip In the Pool

March 22, 2013

You may have first read about Buffalo Zoo‘s fuzzy white Polar Bear cub HERE on ZooBorns. Born on November 27 to Mom Anana and father, Nanuq, the female cub has been hand-raised by zoo staff. The results of a recent naming contest recently gave her the nickname Luna. It’s expected that this little ball of fur will grow to be close to 600 pounds at adulthood.

The zoo is currently raising funds for their Bear Necessities Campaign. They’re hoping to raise $18 million dollars to facilitate building a brand new polar bear habitat.

She is too young to stay in the habitat full time, but got her first chance to play and explore in the snow just last week. Watch below as the little one scampers around with her keepers just last week.

There’s a potential endorsement opportunity the Buffalo Zoo might like to consider requesting from whatever company manufactures the keeper’s pants that hold up to baby polar bear teeth and allow it to be dragged around in the snow. I wish my clothes held up that well!
