Description/Notes
TWIN POLAR BEAR CUBS Kalluk and Tatqiq were only three months old when they were found orphaned in Alaska. Together they were brought to the World-Famous San Diego Zoo to be cared for.

Playful and curious, Kalluk and Tatqiq have won the hearts of more than three million people who visit the zoo each year. Whether they're diving into the water, rolling in the dirt, or sliding down a snowdrift, these adorable bears will charm readers of all ages. The true story of three-month-old polar bears who were orphaned in Alaska and then brought to a new home at the San Diego Zoo.
