Prepare for some searingly sweet baby polar bear wriggling cuteness from the Toronto Zoo‘s newest cub.
He’s been named Hudson and in this video he’s all, “Look Ma, I’m a sloth!”
We have Callie H. to thank for this submission and for showing us polar bear cubs don’t walk until around 4 months. Who knew?!
i am seered…
Me, too, cellarmouse. Sooo adorabuhls it hurts.
now that spell-checker shari has pointed out & pyrit has fixed “seer”, my straight-faced irony looks dumb…eh?…eh?…
We still get it, cellarmouse!
I think my heart a’sploded when he nuzzled his blankie…

ALMOST.
But not……quite …..
*gasp*
Nothing is safe from the deadly Polar Bear menace as it slithers silently over the frozen tundra, flicking its pink tongue to taste the air for the scent of its prey. Many have dropped their guard at its innocent appearance. None have lived to tell the tale. Muahahahahahahah!
How Soon do they start drinking Coke?
LOL
Moderation already? Let’s see what’s in the ‘fridge.
mmmmmm. Leftover pizza.
*sends tea and crumpets to Angel
*…and a glass of grape derived libations.
Gah. Mods…..almost made it through one week without getting sent in here. *takes a nap on the couch with a polar bear cub pillow. *
Oh wait, is that a pillow made to look like a polar bear cub, or are there real polar bear cubs to be used as pillows in the mod lounge today??? How do I get in???
*eyes mie*….I ain’t sharing!!!! This polar bear cub is MINE!!!
*hic* great libations! **I’m picking up grape libations; they’re giving me excitations** (with apologies to the Beach Boys)
I think my ovaries exploded.
..
Ha no, I just grow another pair…
He reminds me of a seal when the flop around on land. The huge paws are like flippers.
I want to neeble on his fuzzee wuzzee leetle ears…
I love polar bears…
but I hate fashion fads!
Whuh?
???
I think I get it. karen’s just rockin’ the stream of consciousness and forgot to say, “Oh by the way” I hate fashion fads.
I could be wrong.
could it be something Emo-ish?? y’know, Proust? Angst???
Ferris? Ferris Bueller????
anybody??
*crickets*
I think I get it….but then again I’m functioning on little sleep.
Ads before the clip? Or maybe the ads if you’re not reading it in RSS?
don’t see any advert’s in the video
BUT
I just realized maybe karen might be objecting to the fashion advert/ dresses in the right column/ margin of the CO page — ??
Yes, I think that’s what she meant Firdie
Raaandom!
I wonder why the polar pups mom rejected him?? Knut from Germany died very young. I still wonder why?
Knut turned out to have some kind of viral infection in his brain.
wow fascinating info Meaghan. Thankx for the science & stuff.
Jist curious (occupational hazarde des “librariologists”…) where was this listed?
N. Geographic?
Truly interested.
*poor Knut*
But then agin, he should CERTAINLY be up in rainbow hevven now.
Must take my niece and nephew to the zoo to see him this summer!
“*sees tire* O.O! Are all those nipples for ME? *noms one* Ewww, they taste awful!”
DO! NOT! MISS! This pic of Hudson at 42 days! So adorables, he’s all “O HAI!!” Also: belly.
Oops, here’s the linky:

i love the o hai’s ! that is a great one!!
What I don’t understand is how the people you see around Husdon can resist picking him up and hugging the stuffing out of him!
mebbe cuz him haz teefs?
IRON DISCIPLINE!!!!!1!!!!!!1!!!!!!!
Something I don’t have….
What a cutie fluffomellow.
Someone get him a cold bottle of Coca Cola……he looks like he want to teach the world to sing….in perfect harmoneeeeeyyyy…..
SSSSQQQQQQQQUUUUUUUEEEEEEEeeeeeee [etc]
I’ve only just watched about five seconds of him/ her and I’m already slush and mush.
(I think there are a few brain cells remaining with which I’m heppeh that these stoopid junk Pleistocene era hamster-driven excuses for compooter “technology” ARE allowing this particular vid to roll. So. There is THAT!!!)
Signed,
OMG
*nicely puts Fird’s slush and mush in a cushioned box…and waits for her to reassemble.*
Awwwwww Emmylee!!!
You put it into a nice, neat container and EVERYTHING!!!
How kind are YOU?????
THANK YOU so MOISCHE !!!!
*hearts*
*hearts back*
Well, it was crafts day in the mod lounge, so I figured I better put my cushioned box to use
Ain’tcha glad this wasn’t posted on a week day? I’d never be able to get anything done after seeing this if I’d looked at it tomorrow!
Oh, dear, I have to be Miss Language Person.This isn’t seeringly sweet, it’s searingly sweet. Seeringly implies this baby bearling is a seer. He might be, but that’s not the point of the video. Searingly means “he’s so stinking cute, his image will be seared onto your retinas.”
Sorry, but even when I’m in the throes of cuteness induced “ooooh, lookit that!”, I need proper grammar.
ALSO is everybody enjoying pyrit’s clevaire bit about “pub crawl” = “cub crawl”?
Or am I just the only one bothering with pointing that out in the midst of all the fluffy white goodness?
Oh I totally read the title a couple of times “Polar Pub Crawl”. Would explain the non-walkiness of the cub. Oh they start at such a young age nowadays…
Also, howcome nobody has mentioned the MINI STRAYCHE AND TOE TWITCH @ 0:33
Ack. Error corrected. I just used the double ee for extra emphasis, yeah.
“THAT’s the ticket!!!”

That’s what happened! You betcha!
Those are the fuzziest ‘tocks I’ve eva seen!
I kept looking for a Gund tag to be hanging off dems!
If only I could get pick one up at FAO Shwartz and bring him home!
That’s the cutest and most splayed crawling I’ve ever seen.
The definition of “ehn!”
What a McSquirmersons!
Words cannot express how much I want to cuddle him!
(but it seems that they — the words — DID do that
)
I suppose it makes sense that they’d crawl around for the first few weeks… on that slippery ice, easier than walking!
I can’t help thinking that this little morselet will weigh 600(?) 1000 (?) pounds and have inches-long teeth and claws. But for the moment, wouldn’t I love to cuddle and snorgle and play with this bebeh. Un-bear-ably anerables.
But even at 600-1000 lbs they’re still completely anerables. Just ask Rick Mercer (aka the guy with the best job in Canada).
I want to smoosh my face in that fur!!
That is the cutest litle thing i have ever seen! The polar bears gonna explode of cuteness Awh! It’s like a bomb if cuteness has fallen on it! I want to squidge it!!!!!!!
