Andean Bear Cub Update: First Steps, One Paw at a Time
Watch out fans! Our 2-month-old Andean bear cubs are on the move.
Over the last week, Brienne’s cubs have become mobile! They are still pretty wobbly as they learn how to properly put one paw in front of the other. But it’s exciting to see them take a few steps here and there.
Lucky viewers of the Andean Bear Cub Cam may catch each cub taking steps. Check out this clip from last week, which was the first steps I saw!
Keep an extra close eye on the Cam to see the cubs continue to practice walking!
