Baby Polar Bear Goes Outside For The Very First Time

Nervous to leave the den? Catch a ride with your mom.

In a series of gorgeous photos captured by conservation photographer Daisy Gilardini, a 4-month-old polar bear cub in Canada's Wapusk National Park prepares for his first trip out of the cave.

But since he's new to this whole "outside" thing, he'll need his mom to keep him company.

In fact, yeah ... is it cool if he just hangs on the whole time, Mom?

And this lil cub isn't the only one who made a brave journey. According to Caters News Agency, Gilardini spent 117 hours - 2 weeks - waiting for the duo to emerge from their den, battling winds of up to 43 miles per hour.

We think it was worth the wait.
