Brumas the Polar Bear - A Symbol of Hope and Success at London Zoo
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print from 1950, we witness a historic moment as Brumas, the adorable polar bear cub, makes her first public appearance alongside her loving mother Ivy. Born on November 27th, 1949, Brumas holds a special place in our hearts as she is not only the offspring of proud parents Mischa and Ivy but also the first baby polar bear to be successfully reared in Britain. At just 11 weeks and four days old, weighing a mere 20 pounds, Brumas exudes an undeniable charm that captivates all who lay eyes upon her. The dedication and care provided by her keepers Bruce and Sam (whose names were cleverly reversed to create hers) have undoubtedly contributed to her remarkable growth and development. This heartwarming image was captured at London Zoo on Friday, February 17th, 1950. It serves as a testament to the tireless efforts made by zoos worldwide in preserving endangered species like polar bears. Brumas represents not only hope for these magnificent creatures but also reminds us of our responsibility to protect their natural habitats. As we gaze upon this enchanting snapshot from history's memory lane, let us celebrate Brumas' journey while acknowledging the vital role played by institutions like London Zoo in safeguarding wildlife for generations to come.
