Zoo officials on Tuesday shared a video on Instagram of one of its nearly 4-month-old twin polar bear cubs frolicking in the snow recently at the Oakland County site. Over the last week the female cub at the Detroit Zoo was able to experience her first romp in the snow during a brief, supervised playtime, the post said. She is not yet old enough to venture out on her own, or stay out all day, but has moved out of her nursery and is now living in a larger space inside of the Ruth Roby Glancy Animal Health Complex.

Detroit Zoo - Two polar bear cubs were born at the Detroit Zoo on November 17, 2020, to 8-year-old mother Suka, and 16-year-old father, Nuka.
The cubs, who have not been named yet, are the first polar bears to be born and successfully raised at the Detroit Zoo since 2004.
The cubs were born in a specially-designed, private maternity den away from the other bears. It is equipped with infrared video cameras that allow staff to monitor the mother and cubs without disturbing them. On November 19, it was observed that one of the cubs was becoming inactive and appeared to be weak. The staff allowed Suka out of the den so that the weak cub could be retrieved.
