Watch a video of a polar bear cub taking his first steps at the Toronto Zoo.

The cub was born on November 9, 2013 and is making great progress. His achievements include:

• Standing on all four legs and taking steps forward.
• Learning to lap up milk formula from a dish
• Teething – his canines, incisors, and some of his molars can now be felt. He likes to bite objects like his blanket.
• Playing – he is quite active, and he is interacting with his surroundings.
• Gaining weight – he currently weighs about 4.5 kg, which is a 529% increase since his original birth weight of 700 grams.
