The Berlin Tierpark zoo is showing off its new polar bear cub, a three-month-old with a cuteness and playfulness that could make her the German capitalsa¹ú¼Ê´«Ã½™s next animal celebrity.
The bear, who hasnsa¹ú¼Ê´«Ã½™t been named, was born Dec. 1 and the zoo says shesa¹ú¼Ê´«Ã½™s developing well.
She was allowed to venture out of her indoor cage for the first time Friday, and enjoyed romping around with her mother Tonja and swimming in the enclosuresa¹ú¼Ê´«Ã½™s chilly pond.
The zoo says the cub will be now be allowed out daily for all to see.
The Tierpark has the same management as Berlinsa¹ú¼Ê´«Ã½™s other zoo, which was home to celebrity polar bear, Knut, whose fame landed him a Vanity Fair cover. He died prematurely from illness in 2011 at age 4.
Kleiner on Tour: Eisbärin Tonja unternahm heute zusammen mit ihrem den ersten großen Ausflug auf die Außenanlage. Es wurde neugierig alles erkundet, viel geschwommen und liebevoll gekuschelt! Ab Samstag können Besucher die Beiden im sehen.
