Special Bearlivery!
Let's check in on Wilbär the polar bear. from the Stuttgart Zoo and Botanical Garden. For some reason, Wilbär is shown chilling in a basket like he's about to be delivered via stork.
Then, you gotta see his lil' swim photos—so prosh. He's all freezing his 'tocks off and stuff.
Monica, thank you for alerting us to the basket and bathing action.

Awww, I want one!
Love the bear paddle! It's been a very nice Sunday, but this made it even BETTER.
the swimmage! the swimmage!
*splode*
I'm at work. But I have to tell you just made it a little more bearable.
EEEKK! I sqee'd myself.
The BF could hear me squeeing through a closed door.
awwww! i love that this one has a mom! a huge polar bear is a way cuter swim teacher than flocke's guys in khaki pants.
Yes, indeed those pesky bears can't seem to stay away from those pic-a-nic baskets. Just don't let Ranger Smith see him.
The bear is Jewish and preparing to play the role of Baby Moses in the yeshiva's upcoming production of "The Ten Commandments."
Eeeeeeek, sweet baby and his Mutti!! Too much!!!
'Basket eyes??? Bear paddle????' Ehin.. THU-PLOOF Ded. Ded from CO.
Ehn??? There is Stork Delivery of little polar bears? Where little polar bear would like to be delivered? Please note that Mama may have to go by truck...
So thrilled CO posted these pictures! There is a video that accompanies the basket portion. Poor Wilbar cried the whole time he was carried to the basket. Well...can you blame him? That guy carrying wasn't mommy. Then to top it off, the vet snuck an injection between Wilbar's shoulder blades while he was getting to know the basket. But then Wilbar was returned to mommy and all was well.
(the basket portion is near the end of this video)

halemgrrl: snort! you made my hiccups come back :P
see, i hiccuped when i was typing the "r" in your name!
WAY too cute. Especially the pictures with Mommy!
Can we just build a massive sanctuary for polar bears? I love them so much! I can't handle the idea of them losing so much habitation. We humans owe them at least that. At least.
I thought Germany had a temperate climate, what IS it with all the polar bears there?
In other news, squee!
I mean, for serious, can polar bears get any more AWESOME?!?!
This one has a momma, hurrayyy!!!
So young, and already a basket case. Tsk tsk. :P

Polar Bears are very cute, but they are also endangered. Seeing them in captivity only reminds me that their natural habitat is disappearing do to climate change.
WANT!!!
The first picture is pretty and at the picture at the end is really cute wit the bears swimming in the pool!!!!!!!!!?
Wow. How cute.
Funny how something goes from this totally adorable wittle thingie, to something you'd p$ss your pants if you met after they've grown up :)
