This baby polar bear has a big family legacy to live up to

Tragically, scientists believe there could be only 25,000 polar bears left on Earth, but that just makes us more certain that this is the cutest one. Little Anori was born in January and has the same father as Knut, a famous cub who was one of the first to survive his infancy in captivity in 30 years and was raised by human keepers at the Berlin Zoo when his mother rejected him. When Knut died in 2011, the impact was felt by fans around the globe. Now, Anori is reigniting "Knutmania" and can finally be seen by an eager public, close to her mother's side in the polar bear den of Wuppertal Zoo in Wuppertal, Germany.
