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 capital’s next animal celebrity, AP reported.
The bear, who hasn’t been named, was born Dec. 1 and the zoo
says she’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 enclosure’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 Berlin’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.
