Polar Bear Cub (Ursus maritimus) | Svalbard

A very young polar bear cub (Ursus maritimus), probably only a few months old, trotting away after standing up to take a look around. This cub was alone with its mother. Given that polar bears generally have two cubs, it is possible that something happened to this cub’s sibling. Photographed in Svalbard.
