The unnamed cub, born back in December, will be on view to the public on Saturday at the Tierpark zoo in Berlin, Germany. A female polar bear baby walks in its enclosure at the Tierpark zoo in Berlin, Friday, March 15, 2019. The still unnamed bear, born Dec. 1, 2018 at the Tierpark, is presented to the public for the first time.
Adorable footage shows the three-month-old polar bear cub take her first official swim and public outing since her birth at the The Berlin Tierpark zoo on December 1.
The cub, who remains unnamed, splashed around in the outdoor enclosure at the German zoo for the first time as the world watched through social media.
Footage shows the cub gaining confidence as her mother encourages her, and swimming farther at every attempt.
The bear is developing well, according to zoo keepers, who deemed the cub strong enough to venture to the outdoor area.
Venturing out of her indoor cage for the first time she enjoyed romping around with her mother Tonja and swimming in the enclosure’s chilly pond.
The zoo says the cub will be now be allowed out daily with her mother for all to see, but that the cub may choose to remain inside the litter cave for long stretches if it is tired.
And off you go to #Water. The barely 3,5 months young # Eisbärin feels really comfortable. Of course, Mama Tonja will not let her little one out of her sight. #TierparkBerlin #Berlin # Polar Bears
