Nuka’s baby boy’s first outdoor adventure

14.2.2025 – Source: Karlsruhe Zoo

Today Nuka decided to bring her baby out for the first time. This baby is a miracle because the odds for his survival didn’t look so promising. However, here he is!

Of course, the big world outside the den is a bit frightening at first sight.

Soon the curiousity won over fear.

Being close to mama is the best thing to do for a little boy. Oh my, did you taste mom’s boomsie …. 🙂

Nuka must be very careful watching her steps. Her paws are bigger than her baby at the moment.

  2. Is this cute or is this supercute?
    Its very early for coming out, but
    little Nuka seem to be real curious
    about her environment 🙂 under the
    protection of her well caring mother.

    • Dear Mervi
      Thank you for posting this story.
      Nuka is a great mum and I hope her little boy grows into a big friendly bear like Nuka’s dad Lars.

  5. Dear Mervi,
    Thank you very much for the lovely clips from Karlsruhe Zoo with the polar bear cub! It really is a small miracle that he survived the first weeks of his life under the difficult conditions in the outdoor enclosure and will now continue to grow in the protected indoor area. His first exit is indeed very early, but the zookeepers know what is good and what is not. Nuka is a great mum and has done everything right!
    All the best wishes for Nuka and her 1st cub!
