Video: Polar bear cub's first steps outside the den

John Downer Productions recently uploaded footage from its 2010 BBC show called "Polar Bear -- Spy on the Ice," which used remote controlled cameras to capture insights into the unseen lives of polar bears. In this clip we see the mother polar bear playing with the spy camera, flipping it around as though adjusting it to capture the cub's first steps outside the den. Similar to a home movie, the bear moves the camera again and again and finally gets the perfect final shot.
