The cubs couldn’t be seen now. According to the zoo people will see them only in spring 2023.

Crystal and Nuka were mated to preserve their genetic diversity in the population.

The babies are now small, but they will be huge bears when they grow up. Male polar bear weighs from 800 to 1300 pounds and female weighs from 300 to 700.
