Ohio zoo welcomes polar bear cub

Jan. 5, 2010 (AP): An Ohio zoo’s recent arrival may not be having much trouble dealing with this week’s severe cold.

The Toledo Zoo announced Tuesday that a polar bear cub was born on Dec. 3 and is being cared for by its mother.

The zoo says the baby bear was born with a sibling, but it died after a few days, apparently because of an umbilical cord problem.

The zoo has left mother and cub alone in a secluded den area and has been monitoring the baby through video. The animal's sex has not yet been determined.
