Polar bear cub takes first wobbly steps at Zoo

 

Forget the polar vortex  Let’s go with this polar bear cub instead. He has been generating absolute gurgles of love and affection since the Toronto Zoo released this video early Wednesday. Adorable, Huggable. Put him in your pocket. Just remember, he’ll grow up. The sole surviving polar bear cub of three born in November is growing and is now taking his first steps forward. The video shows the cub taking a few steps and making sounds. The cub, now growing whiskers, is kept in a permanently air conditioned room and receives six bottles 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.”
