Cute Baby Bear Videos for Wild Wednesday

Happy wild Wednesday! I had the great blessing of seeing these adorable Andean bear cubs (also called "bespectacled bears") in their habitat at the Smithsonian's National Zoo this weekend. This is the third set of cubs I've enjoyed watching but the most exciting because they're the youngest and smallest that I've seen yet. I have three videos to share today. I put the top one first because it had the nicest thumbnail but my favorite is the second one where the little bear climbs up and down a tree. The third one is worth watching because I zoomed out so you could see how high up the little guys climbed. Their cuteness warmed my heart and I hope they make you smile.

These cute little animals are still fuzzy. They're a little wobbly but already great climbers.

The rumor is that the baby bears, health and weather permitting, will be out most mornings from ten to eleven am and longer as they grow stronger and more resilient (and possibly longer on warmer days too). Apparently these two brother bears love to climb so if you visit I hope you get to see them climb in person.

Thank you for visiting! May God bless these little bears and may He bless you too!

Happy wild Wednesday! Andean bear cubs Nicole and Curt (brother and sister) seemed to dance (they were probably play fighting) in their habitat on our last visit to the National Zoo. Andean bears are also called spectacled bears because of their unique facial markings.

On most visits they seem to be sleeping so it was nice to see them active.

These are two miracle bears. They are rumored to have been conceived after their father died. You can read more about them here.

If you live close enough to visit, you might want to visit soon because they may soon "go to another Zoo." Their mom already has a new mate, although the adult bears haven't been introduced yet. 

May God bless and keep you, dear friends!

What is your favorite kind of bear?

Bear Claw Cleaning

This Andean bear appeared to have something stuck in his paw and I found it interesting to watch him get whatever it was out so I started snapping photographs. He did get the offending item out before we left and was walking around just fine afterward.

Hope you enjoy the Andean bear photos as much as I did. I think this is the male cub but it could have been one of the girls (his sister or mother).  The Andean bear family (mom, dad and male and female cubs) are out for viewing on weekends only at the National Zoo. Usually, the dad bear is in a separate habitat but they are near enough to watch each other. Thank you for viewing and may God bless you!

PS If you enjoyed this post you'll probably enjoy the Andean Bear Cub's Birthday Bash photos too.
