Bottoms up! Baloo and Winnie face off in a milk chug-off at Greece's Attica Zoological Park. Zoo staff are bottle-feeding the 7-day-old brown bears because their mother abandoned them.

awwwwwwwwwwww

They're so cute!

It's amazing that a mother bear would abandon her cubs.

I guess even in the animal kingdom, some just aren't up to the task of parenting.

Aww, Beautiful, they are!!
More times than not, when a Mama abandones ( this excluding the human animal, in my opinion ), there is something wrong, creating a 'weak' gene in the species...

They are sweeet ! Wonder what led the Mom to abandon them?
Sometimes wild animals will abandon offspring if handled by humans...
