- Siku: The polar bear cub of the Scandinavian Wildlife Park, Denmark.
- Ask the experts: Your chance to hear the facts from the top scientists in the world.
- Migration season near Churchill, Canada: Watch mothers and cubs and big sparring males as they wait for the winter sea ice to form.
Siku’s wish is to reduce your carbon footprint and help save wild polar bears and the Arctic sea ice!
- Siku was born November 22, 2011 to Ilka, the female polar bear at Scandinavian Wildlife Park, Denmark.
- His name is symbolic as ‘Siku’ is the most common word for sea ice in all Eskimo/Inuit languages.
- Siku is an ambassador for his wild cousins in the Arctic. Wild polar bears are seriously threatened by global warming, which is causing the sea ice to melt. Without sea ice, polar bears can’t hunt for food.
