Here’s a video of a five-week-old baby polar sleeping (and dreaming!) at the Columbus Zoo. This ridiculously angelic creature weighs only 4 pounds and measures 16 inches long: According to zoo staff, those sounds you hear the cub making are sounds of contentment. So you can rest easy that she’s not having nightmares about [Donald Trump and that eagle](http://time.com/4141783/time-person-of-the-year-runner-up-donald-trump-eagle-gif/). If you want to see more, the zoo has been diligently posting [pictures ](https://www.facebook.com/columbuszoo/posts/10153301038887106)on Facebook. You can also see [a video ](https://www.facebook.com/columbuszoo/videos/10153271495262106/)from shortly after her birth on Nov. 6\. Unfortunately, two cubs were born, but one passed away. [According to the zoo](https://www.facebook.com/columbuszoo/videos/10153269805532106/), the survival rate of a polar cub in its first few weeks of life is about 50 percent. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4146423/polar-bear-cub-columbus-zoo/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4146423/polar-bear-cub-columbus-zoo/"},"headline":"This Video of a Baby Polar Bear Dreaming Will Warm Your Cold Heart","datePublished":"2015-12-11T22:02:18.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:27:40.429Z","description":"She's only five weeks old","url":"https://time.com/4146423/polar-bear-cub-columbus-zoo/","keywords":["Newsfeed","animals"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Samantha Grossman","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/samantha-grossman/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4146423/polar-bear-cub-columbus-zoo/","name":"This Video of a Baby Polar Bear Dreaming Will Warm Your Cold Heart"}}]}] ```
