Abandoned Baby Polar Bear Sleeping With A Stuffed Animal Makes Cute Sounds
Last Friday, the Internet received an ultimate dose of cuteness when the video of a baby polar bear sleeping with her stuffed Moose was posted online by the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium in Powell, Ohio. Sadly, the cub was abandoned by her mother, so the zoo’s staff is now taking care of her.
The zoo’s press release stated that the mother was too depressed to take care of her baby after the death of her other cub. Nevertheless, the zoo’s staff is doing their best to take care of her 24/7. The cutie pie is 5 weeks old and doing very well.
“The care staff says the sound that she makes in the video is of contentment. Her motor skills are improving each day and she has started trying to stand up on all fours, especially when she’s ready for her next meal!” says the post on the zoo’s Facebook page.

I actually feel so sad that this baby has no mommy to lean on, no mommy to be groomed by... you say, it's sound from contentment ( I'm not doubting it) but i just feel so sad for this baby
I completely agree. A cub that young is looking for it's momma bear. :( Probably also to feed, which is what a lot of babies do when they want comforting.

"ultimate dose of cuteness" ? "abandoned by her mother", "mother was too depressed to take care of her baby", "death of her other cub" ... I haven't been so sad in a while.
abandoned baby cubs do not belong in the wild. In the wild, they would be left to die.

It's cute but sad at the same time. A while ago I saw a documentary about how the melting icecaps make it near impossible for female bears to raise their cups because without the ice they don't find enough rest and food. The team filmed a struggeling hungry bear with two cups. One died on camera from seizures caused by starvation and malnutrition. The other apparently died a few days later. I sobbed all afternoon and most of the next few days. We'll be loosing this species entirely if we don't stop global warming soon. Let's hope this little one has a future.
Super duper adorable I wish I had a little baby cub to cuddle up with
OMGosh so adorable... I'd want to cuddle all the time with this little baby.
I don't think that's a sound of contentment. The way he sticks out his tongue he wants to suck milk from his mother. That's an instinct for a baby mammal. And he wants comfort from his mother the way other baby animals do.
I think he Dreams about the comfort of his Mama.It's simple really. What would you dream about as a Baby?
