美國俄亥俄州(Ohio)的哥倫布(Columbus)動物園迎接了新的小生命,是一隻雪白無比的小北極熊「諾拉」(Nora)!她活潑好動的模樣都被照顧的管理人員拍下來,影片簡直萌翻所有人

小諾拉在去年的11月6日由媽媽奧羅拉(Aurora)所生下,至今剛滿三個月大。原本她還有另一個妹妹,但是妹妹不幸在出生後就死亡,據管理人員表示,剛出生的小北極熊存活率大約是5成。諾拉剛出生時鼻子手腳耳朵都是粉紅色的,在母熊和管理人員悉心飼育之下成長迅速,每一個禮拜長大1吋(約2.54公分)!

動物園管理人員爲她舉辦了命名活動,在來自115國家、超過8萬名粉絲票選中篩選出迪絲娜(Desna)、(Nora)、卡雅( Kaya)和薩卡里(Sakari),而最終由諾拉這個名字脫穎而出,成爲這隻小北極熊的名字。諾拉這個名字也是取自她的爸爸納努克(Nanuq)和媽媽奧羅拉(Aurora)兩邊而成,紀念意味濃厚。

現在已經三個月大的諾拉活潑好動,雪白的毛髮上鑲着兩顆有如鈕釦般的眼睛,簡直像是玩偶一樣萌。好奇心旺盛的她也常常與飼育人員互動,甚至追着攝影機跑,模樣讓所有粉絲都融化
