BERLIN, Germany (Reuters) — The youngest polar bear cub in Berlin’s Tierpark zoo learned a lesson in eating politely on Monday (January 23).

The cub was digging into a piece of steak in front of the room’s camera, only for his mother Tonja to take the food away to a more private area.

On January 12, the small polar bear was revealed to be a boy through first medical-check up. A Berlin radio station and two daily newspapers are currently in cahoots with the public to find a suitable name for the cub, who is now about three months old.

Visitors to Tierpark can watch cub and mother in the zoo’s outdoor polar bear enclosure.
