Adorable Pictures Show The Bond Between Newborn And Mother Polar Bear (13 Photos)
The cubs are well protected with fluffy white fur even when they are only weeks old. While polar bear cubs can survive the frigid arctic weather they are most likely suffer from hypothermia if they get wet. Therefore, mother bear doesn't encourage her cubs to swim longer distances. Believe it or not, baby polar bears can climb trees. Although there are very few trees in the Arctic but when a polar bear family gets close to the trees, the cubs often climb up the trees during playing. Adult male or a female bear cannot climb for they are too heavy to lift their weight.
