Polar Bear Cub To Go Public On Valentine's Day

Valentines Day will be the date when this cute polar bear cub will be allowed out of the den where it has lived with its loving mum since being born in the world’s oldest zoo.

The cub that was born in November last year has started to learn to walk in recent weeks as with these scenes at the Schonbrunn Zoo in the Austrian capital Vienna. It is the first cub at the zoo in eight years.

In the video, mother bear Nora can be seen lying alongside the tiny cub as it moves around clearly keen to start exploring outside the den. It is still unknown what the sex is of the cub that was born blind and weighing just half a kilo, making around the size of a hamster.
