TORONTO – The sole surviving polar bear cub of three born in November is growing and is now taking his first steps forward, according to a new video from the Toronto Zoo.
The video, uploaded to Facebook, shows the cub taking a few steps and making sounds.
It will likely be the cutest video of a polar bear cub you see today.
The cub, now growing whiskers, is kept in a permanently air conditioned room and receives six bottle of milk each day.
He weighs just 4.4 kg but according to a Zoo press release, has started to bite things – his blanket being one of his main targets.
“He is beginning to teethe and likes to bite objects such as his blanket. His canine teeth, incisors and some of his molars can now be felt.”
The cub was born on Nov. 9 along with two siblings. The cub was taken from her mother, who was unable to nurse her after 48 hours, and cared for by zoo staff.
