“Poor baby. He needs to be adopted like me. What size litter box does he need?”
COPENHAGEN, Denmark — A Danish zoo says a month-old polar bear cub is being raised by humans after his mother failed to produce enough milk to feed him. Scandinavian Wildlife Park manager Frank Vigh-Larsen says Siku is doing “really fine.” The cub now weighs 7 pounds (3.2 kilograms grams) – against 3 pounds (1.8 kilograms) at birth.
Vigh-Larsen said Thursday that the cub was two days old when he was removed from his mother after surveillance video inside the bear cave revealed that he “was moaning and being unruly all the time.”
Vigh-Larsen says Siku would have been in danger of death if he had stayed with his mother.
Three people are giving round-the-clock care to the cub at the zoo in Kolind, 105 miles (170 kilometers) northwest of Copenhagen. MORE [Sacramento Bee]
Three Polar bears approach the starboard bow of the Los Angeles-class fast attack submarine USS Honolulu (SSN 718) while surfaced 280 miles from the North Pole. Sighted by a lookout from the bridge (sail) of the submarine, the bears investigated the boat for almost 2 hours before leaving. Commanded by Cmdr. Charles Harris, USS Honolulu while conducting otherwise classified operations in the Arctic, collected scientific data and water samples for U.S. and Canadian Universities as part of an agreement with the Arctic Submarine Laboratory (ASL) and the National Science Foundation (NSF). USS Honolulu is the 24th Los Angeles-class submarine, and the first original design in her class to visit the North Pole region.Honolulu is assigned to Commander Submarine Pacific, Submarine Squadron Three, Pearl Harbor, Hawaii.

Awww… So cute. And so sad.
It is sad and just posted on Knut, which makes one wonder if it will get sadder.

Gosh, I didn’t know what to think about that little baby. He seemed so “out of it” but maybe just really sleepy. I hope he’s thriving…even though they said he had gained weight… Little darling.
