The male polar bear cub who survived his two siblings last October at the Toronto Zoo has been creating quite a stir with spectators in recent weeks.

The tiny cub caught the attention of many park visitors as he sat in his habitat, forcing himself to stay awake. Fighting to keep his eyes open, the little bear struggled to keep his head lifted, entertaining guests who could not get enough of the fluffy white creature.

Soon after his birth, mother bear Aurora rejected him, along with his two sibling cubs who died shortly after their abandonment. The Toronto Zoo has done a successful job documenting the progress of their beloved Arctic ambassador. Its website tracks milestones such as the day the cub took his first steps on January 16, which allowed him to move from the Wildlife Health Centre to his new home, the Polar Bear House.

The Toronto Zoo is currently running a contest to find a name for the still unidentified cub that will continue until March 16. On March 31, park staff will announce the winner.

With the Hudson Bay sea ice melting earlier each year, the seal hunting period for polar bears continues to diminish. Those interested can seize the opportunity to witness these endangered animals in the wild in Churchill, Manitoba, before their natural habitat vanishes completely.
