Polar bear cub's adorable first attempts to walk.

Footage has been released from a zoo in Berlin that shows its newest Arctic addition making his first attempts to walk.

A camera captured the little polar bear cub trying and failing to stand up on the floor of his private enclosure.

His mother then comes and nuzzles the baby cub and feeds it.

The zookeepers say that the mother polar bear is breastfeeding her cub every couple of hours.

The cub weighed 600 grams when it was born last month.

By the time polar bears are fully grown, males weigh around 450 kilograms and females weigh between 150-250 kilograms.
