Some new video has been posted online of Whistler’s rare and adorable white bear cub.
The video shows the cub playfully wrestling with its mother – a black bear that is well-known in the area.
The white cub’s appearance has sparked debate over whether it is a Kermode bear or an albino bear.

“We keep very careful records within the ski area and never have we seen a cub of such colour before,” Arthur De Jong, planning and resource manager for Whistler-Blackcomb Mountain, said in early June.
“It’s an off-white colour, a very, very healthy cub. With a known mother, a female that we’ve had in the ski area for four to five years.”
Experts warn that people should steer clear of the bear and not just because of the mother’s presence – there’s a danger of the cub becoming too comfortable with humans.
