Grizzly cub Jebbie was found wandering alone in Alaska, unable to survive on his own. He was transported to the Detroit Zoo in July, where he met Laerke, a lonely polar bear cub who was also growing up without a mother bear. The two quickly became close companions, and the zoo says they do everything together, including ‘running, chasing each other, wrestling, rolling around, and lots of typical bear play. More cub cuteness: What do bear cubs do to pass the time? Apparently dance and play a friendly game of Ring Around the Rosie. A family of baby brown bears was spotted in eastern Finland holding hands and dancing around in a circle, just like schoolchildren do while singing the Ring Around the Rosie rhyme on the playground. Valtteri Mulkahainen, a 52-year-old gym teacher, reportedly witnessed the adorable moment unfold in the animal kingdom in a forest in Suomussalmi, Finland, according to the Solent News Agency, which obtained the pictures.
