Cute polar bear cubs have been seen exiting their cave and exploring into the snow for the first time with their mother.
The two cubs, who were only two to three months old, had just come out of hibernation and were eager to explore their cold surroundings. In eastern Canada’s Wapusk National Park, a mother bear and her cubs were observed playing together in the icy landscape.
The two young cubs will have been nesting in a protected den throughout the winter because the national park is one of the greatest polar bear maternity denning places in the world.
Because they are born blind and have thin fur that wouldn’t keep them warm in the winter, polar bear cubs need to reside in a den. ‘The winter is ended, and at Wapusk we had the unusual opportunity to observe the bear cubs emerge for the first time after being born in hibernation,’ said 45-year-old Mexican photographer Natalia Del Rio, who captured the cute polar bears.
