VIDEO: Meet the new arrival – Durrell welcomes first healthy bear cub for 20 years

Five-year-old Andean bear Bahia gave birth to the cub on 3 January but keepers have waited until now to announce the news.

They say that both mother and cub are doing well and the youngster appears to be thriving.

Bahia is currently nursing her new arrival in a specially constructed den equipped with high definition infra-red cameras, which enable keepers to monitor the pair’s progress.

They also recorded the birth.
