Video provided courtesy of Munich Hellabrunn Zoo shows the moment that the zoo's new baby polar bear showed herself to public for the first time in the outdoor tundra enclosure on Friday. Closely accompanied by her mother Giovanna, the 14 week old cub faced zoo visitors for the first and appeared happy and ready for the new adventure. Now that the fluffy little cub is old enough to brave the outdoor enclosure, zoo staff decided the moment was right to bring the little white bear out in front of visitors. She was closely accompanied by her mother as she explored and pottered around, playing in the woodchip and clambering over the rocks and grass of her pen. Zoo staff have not yet given a name to their new cub, but bear will soon receive a name beginning with the letter 'Q'. All animals born at the Munich Hellabrunn Zoo in 2016 receive a name beginning with the same letter. The zoo has put together a list of seven of their favorite names and have asked visitors to vote for their favorite. The zoo hopes the baby bear will encourage onlookers to take a greater interest in endangered species. Polar bears live in fragile habitats, which are being threatened by global warming and melting polar ice caps.

Footage provided courtesy of the Oregon Zoo on Tuesday shows this adorable 10 month-old polar bear cub named Nora playing in a pool of Ice at her enclosure in Portland. Nora explored her new enclosure, wriggling around in a tub of crushed ice and swimming in the pool. The young polar bear will be taking some time to settle into her new home, and if all continues to go well, Zoo visitors can expect to see her later in October.
