COLUMBUS, Ohio — What's cuter than a 5-week-old polar bear cub sleeping? Not much.
The Columbus Zoo posted video of the sleeping cub on Friday as it cuddled with a stuffed toy.
According to the care staff, the noise she makes while sleeping is a sound of contentment.
The cub now weighs a little over 4 pounds and measures 16 inches long.
"Her motor skills are improving each day and she has started trying to stand up on all fours, especially when she’s ready for her next meal," the zoo posted on Facebook.
This week, the cub also started to open both of her eyes.
