A healthy polar bear cub is born in Dalarna. It is unusual that polar bears have cubs in zoos, and only fifty percent of the cubs survive the first critical weeks. 'The first couple of weeks were nerve-racking of course, since it was a big risk that the cub would not survive', says Johanna Berglund, caretaker in the park.
