Teddy was born at Tote-em-in Zoo in Wilmington, North Carolina, along with his brother Baloo. They were the offspring of Luna Bear, a Himalayan black bear who lived at Tote-em-in Zoo.A couple frequented the zoo to visit with Luna Bear and over time got to know the owners of the small roadside zoo. After Luna Bear gave birth to Teddy and Baloo, the couple helped care for the two cubs. When the cubs turned two months old, the owners of the zoo decided to send Teddy and Baloo to an auction house in Ohio, where they faced an unknown destiny. To spare the bears from being separated, they were bought by this well-meaning couple and donated to a zoo in a nearby town.
