Polah Beah Cuteh Patooteh
March 14, 2014 by
Hear that? Listen … … It’s the soft pittah pattah of bebbeh polah beah paws …
Zookeepers in Novosibirsk, Russia, report that mama, Gerda, brought her 4 month old cub out of their den for the first time on March 6.
No one knows if the cub is a boy or a girl, and Gerda’s not ready to share yet.
This summer, there will be a special contest held for local residents to choose the little bear’s name.
Er, that gives us a great head start, doesn’t it? Nobody said we can’t have our own naming fun. And, we can plan a trip to the Novosibirsk Zoo! And, we can squee over “our” bebbeh polah beah, that we named, the best name of all in the whole world! Right?!

To put a positive spin on that pesky Polar Vortex thing that’s been hasslin’ a good part of the US, (gasp, I sound like Sarah Palin, sorry) we bring you this Polar Bear Dude that’s just now taking his first steps after a November birth. (Make sure your speaks are up for the Polar Bear Squonking* Noises.)
This one’s for you, Knut buddy.
(*A squonk is kinda like a honk, but not exactly. Is that a word? Don’t think so! New term!!)
How Cold Is It?
January 9, 2014 by
It’s so cold, even polar bears can’t handle the polar vortex! Multiple news sources reporting from zoos across the country that polar bears are curling up and staying inside with their snuggie and a cup of cocoa in front of the fire !

Bebeh Pola’ Brrr!

This is Henry, the newest member of the polar bear family living at Sea World, Gold Coast (near Brisbane), Australia. Born on May 9th 2013, Henry is the first cub to be born in captivity at Sea World. Henry may one day help in the conservation of the 25,000 polar bears left in the wild. You might think it unusual for a Polar Bear to be living in Australia, but then Australia is known for having a lot of unusual animals!
Click here for more about Henry from Yahoo!7 News, including a very “cool” video!
