EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting photograph captures the playful moments of two young polar bear cubs, Aldin and an unnamed sibling, as they frolic in the water at the London Zoo in 1907. The image, taken by an unknown photographer, offers a rare glimpse into the past, when polar bears were first introduced to European audiences as exotic and fascinating creatures. The polar bear enclosure at London Zoo opened in 1875, making it one of the oldest polar bear exhibits in the world. The cubs in this photograph were likely born in captivity, as polar bears were increasingly hunted for their fur and body parts in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The cubs' natural instincts and curiosity are on full display in this image, as they splash and play in the shallow water. Their joyful expressions and playful antics are a reminder of their wild and untamed nature, despite their confinement in a zoo enclosure. The photograph also provides a glimpse into the history of zoos and their role in preserving and showcasing endangered species. While modern zoos prioritize conservation efforts and animal welfare, historical images like this one offer a fascinating look into the past and the evolution of our relationship with animals. This photograph is a testament to the enduring appeal of polar bears and their ability to capture our imagination and fascination. It is a reminder of the importance of preserving polar bear habitats and protecting these magnificent creatures in the wild.
