A New Knut?

Saturday, January 12th, 2008

After the Knut phenomenon, you had to know that more polar-bear cubs would “need” TLC:

A handout picture shows a polar bear cub born by polar bear Vera at the zoo in Nuremberg January 11, 2008. The new baby bear was separated from her mother after officials at the Nuremberg zoo became concerned she might harm the cub. Now four keepers at the zoo are taking care of the 2 kg fur ball, who needs milk every three hours.

Addendum: Rumor has it that the cub is going by Flocke, German for [snow] flake. More importantly, our Eisbaer-BabyEisbaer is pronounced ice bear, by the way — has her own web page. You don’t have to sprech Deutsch to enjoy it.
