The UK’s youngest polar bear cub has been named - as new footage shows him taking his first steps outside. The cub, born in December at the Highland Wildlife Park, near Aviemore, Highlands, has been called Brodie - a Scottish word meaning second son.
It was chosen by the winner of the recent prize draw ran by the Royal Zoological Society of Scotland. Public viewing for Brodie and mum Victoria will open from March 28.
But staff at the park are advising visitors the cub may only be visible for small periods of time to begin with. Delighted keepers said after a lap of his enclosure Brodie enjoys a good snooze in the den with mum.
