Toronto got a lot less adorable in January, when the Toronto Zoo’s young polar bear Hudson left for the Assiniboine Park Zoo in Winnipeg. As if to rub it in, the Buffalo Zoo debuted a new polar bear cub, nicknamed Luna, five weeks later. The only thing that can ease our pain is to know that Hudson’s cuteness still reigns supreme. Toronto’s hometown bear, back when he was just a ball of fuzz, is the one on the left showing some spectacular camera-mugging. However, this video of Luna, right, falling out of her kiddie pool may just sway the vote. If you need more evidence before making your choice, check out the photos below.
