A wee polar bear, or how would YOU like it if the whole world watched you while you slept?

They're not born with them (ow!) but they develop by 4-6 months, based on the one baby I got to see up close (OMG adorable until you looked closely at the paws and teeth, at which point some instinct kicks in and you go "ulp")

(one of my characters in the Retrievers book is based, physically, on a polar bear, so I did some research before-paw)

Ok. So I get a cub around 3 months old to play with my kitties for a month and then back to the zoo it goes :-) Works for me!
