Pics, update on polar bear cub at Columbus Zoo

[new_royalslider id=”20″]

The Columbus Zoo today offered an update on a polar bear cub born at the zoo in November:

The cub is 25 days old today and continues to do well. The hand rearing team stays with her 24 hours each day and she is feeding every 3 hours. The cub is growing at a rapid pace and as of this morning she is now 14.25 inches from the end of her snout to the tip of her tail. She continues to gain weight and we are anxiously awaiting when her eyes will open, which should happen in approximately the next 5 days. The polar bear cub care staff is taking it one day at a time and adjusting to her daily needs.
