Toronto Zoo polar bear cub dies within 24 hours

The Toronto Zoo says a newborn polar bear cub has died.

Two cubs were born on Nov. 11 but the zoo says one of the cubs passed away within the first 24 hours. The other cub is in intensive care.

Zoo officials say their mom Aurora demonstrated good maternal instincts but didn’t appear to produce any milk to feed the cubs.
