He is so cute! And I was glad to read the article, too, as one "dumbed down" repot said "His name means ice in Scandinavian" and I thought - there is no one language for all of Scandinavia! It's either Icelandic, Norwegian, Danish ... " so I was glad they said "Greenlandic" - a tad more specific! I hope he has a long and healthy life!
OMB, what a darling! I love polar bears! I hope he has a long, healthy life too!
Yes, isn't he cute!! :love: I found another link with more text, pictures and a video.

This adorable little guy has been all over the news here! What a sweet little baby, and what good people who are caring for him and nurturing him so carefully! May God bless them all.

What an adorable baby!:D
Thank you for posting this, Randi. I love polar bears and their current situation with the effects of climate change break my heart. Extinct is forever, what a tragic loss it would be to lose these majestic beings!
The baby is beyond adorable! I didn't realize what a small fellow he is until his caretaker picked him up. I pray that this precious little baby enjoys a long, healthy, happy life!
Sadly, a lot of people don't realize how the climate change will affect these gorgeous animals - and many others. :(Quote:

He's so cute and I was also surprised to see how small he is.:) I hope he'll continue to thrive and have a long happy life.:)
He's cute! But I sure hope he will have a happier life than poor Knut had. Knut was such a hype as a cub, but his life as an adult was so sad and miserable. I hope those who raise Siku will learn from the mistakes done with Knut, even though I'm not sure if polar bears could ever be happy in zoos, especially when hand-raised. This is even more sad as their natural environment is fading. It's such a dilemma!
Anyway, best wishes for that little sweet cub! :love: :love:
