Watch adorable polar bear cub frolic in snow for first time
Video released by Toronto Zoo shows three month old polar bear cub experiencing snow for the very first time...and he doesn't look entirely convinced by it
A polar bear in the wild will be born into ice and snow, having to fight to survive the harsh arctic weather - not to mention the melting polar ice caps - right from the off.
For a polar bear born into captivity, things are very different however, with many having a long wait to experience their natural habitat.
For this little bear born in Toronto the wait wasn’t too lengthy however and the city’s zoo has released a video of the adorable moment he first got to experience snow.
Born on 9 November last year, the cub is just coming up to three months old.
The minute long clip shows the baby bear sitting and patting the snow while making a cute squawking noise.
We’re not quite sure if he’s been completely won over by the white stuff straight away though - he soon crawled toward the zoo keeper. Maybe it just takes some getting used to.
