Baby Bears!
The images in this video shocked the entire Zoo Rostock team. Last week two tiny polar bear cubs were discovered at the German Zoo while keepers were checking the video from the den. The two cubs were born on Sunday, November 14th, 2021. The first baby was born at 10.15 a.m., the second 20 minutes later. These are the first offspring for polar bear parents Sizzel and Akiak.
German media quoting the zoo reported Sizzel was doing a “great job” looking after her two babies born on Nov. 14.
Cubs at birth weigh between 450 and 850 grams, a fraction of a grown female polar bear which during pregnancy put more than 500 kilos on the scale, according to Nuremberg zoo.
Polar bear cubs are born almost naked and it takes them up to two months to be able to stand up on their feet.
According to German media, Rostock zoo will ensure Sizzel and her babies are not exposed to any type of stress for now.
