After the Berlin zoo now the zoo of Nuremberg has a polar bear baby that needs to be raised by hand because it wasn't accepted by the parents. It's not as cute as Knut though.

She'll bite off what's too much once her teeth come out, I guess. At least that's what happened to my tongue.

Between the bear and you, I'd say YOU have no eyes

I'm sorry for getting angry and mocking your name turtle777, I just thought that the polar bear didn't have any eyes.

He does, in fact, possesses eyes.. It's just that they're out of order for the moment..




And by the way, that's not a polar bear.. that's an albino Domokun, you fools!

The eyes should open in the next few days, according to the Vet.
It seems that its mother took pretty good care of it for the first 4 weeks, but was then scared by some TV reporters who came too close to the area where she was held and abandoned the little one...:-(

bye, Frido.

She has been given the name "Flocke". Eyes are open now.

You can see a video of her here:
