Скачать или смотреть Cute Sloth Bear Cubs Make Their Debut at Brookfield Zoo!

Just in time for Mother's Day, the Chicago Zoological Society, which manages Brookfield Zoo, is happy to announce the birth of two sloth bear cubs that were born on January 20. This is the first successful litter of sloth bears born at Brookfield Zoo. Until today, May 8, when they made their public debut, the cubs have been in a maternity den with their mom, Hani, 10, growing by leaps and bounds.
Zoo guests will be able to witness one of the most intriguing behavioral traits of this species: a mother sloth bear carrying her young on her back. Rarely seen in other bear species, a cub riding on its mother's back is a regular mode of family travel. Hani will continue to carry her cubs until they are about a third her size. Be sure to check out the cubs during the zoo's annual Bear Awareness Weekend on Saturday and Sunday, May 18 and 19.
