Watch this polar bear cub appear for the very first time.

This is the moment that the first polar bear cub to be born in the UK for 25 years emerged from its den for the very first time.

It was captured on remote cameras.

The cub was born at the Royal Zoological Society of Scotland Highland Wildlife Park after a long-running breeding programme.

The cub was born just before Christmas but, until this sighting, zookeepers only knew it was there by listening to the high-pitched squeaking sounds coming from the den.

Barbara Smith, who's in charge of the Royal Zoological Society of Scotland said: "The birth of the first polar bear in the UK for 25 years is a tremendous achievement and testament to the team at our Highland Wildlife Park, where we have developed a world-leading polar bear management programme.".

The story of how this little cub came to be born will be told in a special programme on Channel 4 at 7pm on Sunday 18 March.

It's hoped that the documentary will raise awareness of the threats polar bears face in the wild.
