The Columbus Zoo’s newest baby isn’t at all camera shy, and we’re loving it!
Heartwarming footage from inside the private denning area of polar bear mom, Aurora, and her cub offer a glimpse into what is sure to be an exciting and adorable adventure ahead.
Born on Thanksgiving, the energetic cub has been seen taking its first steps, nursing, climbing, cuddling, and receiving a bath from mama. Watch the videos below, and try not to shriek, “Aww!” too loudly.
When you step out of the room and your kid starts to walk…! Aurora’s cub is now 5 weeks old and starting to maneuver around the den. While momma bear was getting a drink of water, the little one took the opportunity to stretch his or her legs! The animal care team says that the cub is big and strong. Baby’s eyes are open and keepers think the newborn has taken after dad, Lee’s, long legs! 💗❄️🐻
