Polar bear cub raised by hand in Denmark

A little polar bear is warming a lot of hearts in Denmark. Siku, who was born last month at the Scandinavian Wildlife Park.

Her mother, Ilka, didn't produce enough milk, so after two days Siku had to be separated from her mother. She's now in the care of the park.

Park officials said Siku may not have made it if he had stayed by his mother.

Siku weighed in at a little more than three pounds when she was born. "Siku" means "ice" in Greenlandic.
