The first Andean bear ever born in mainland Britain has started to explore its surroundings at Chester Zoo. The cub was born in January and is considered a valuable breeding success for the endangered species. Conservationists believe there are less than 20,000 bears left in the wild in South America and the bears are threatened by both illegal hunting and habitat loss.
