Rare white bear cub

This is something you don't see every day. In fact this is the first white bear I have ever seen.

I hope the little guy survives. It would be amazing to see him as a big white bear.

They have even better pictures.

I hope the little bear survives, but I understand that only 50% of cubs make it through the first year. It is a tough life for a bear.

He is just adorable, but then that may be his downfall. If too many people decide to go and see him, his whole life will be disrupted.
Here's hoping sense prevails and the wardens can keep folk informed with photos and people stay away.

You are right. It would be better if no one knew about him. He would have a better chance of survival.  I did not know that bear cub survival was such a low number. It is sad to think that half of all cubs have no chance of making it.

I really hope this special cub does make it.
