Make sure you watch at least until they start sliding around the ice on their bellies. The clips at 0:20, 0:30, and 0:50 – where the baby intentionally bumps and bites mom for the fun of it – are also not without their charm:
Unrelatedly, let this be your official reminder to check out MR sponsor Purchase Green, purveyor of such fine goods as artificial grass and the dog potty patch. That doesn’t have anything to do with polar bears per se. But the alternative was doing a separate “check out our advertisers” post like Gawker-style blogs do, which would have been a sad reminder that we don’t really have more than one advertiser. And who wants to end the weekend being sad?
Ergo: ice skating polar bear baby.
