Do you remember about the polar bear cub that was "rescued" from her mother recently in Germany? Well, now they are looking for a suitable name for her. Nuremberg Mayor Ulrich Maly has asked a jury to deliberate Friday on a flood of suggestions — which arrived in more than 25,000 e-mails and postcards — for the official name of the 5-week-old white ball of fluff. The decision was to be announced in the afternoon. The bear cub rose to star status after being taken from her mother, Vera, on Jan. 8 amid concerns that she could harm or even kill the newborn. This polar bear cub has really become a star worldwide now. What do you think would be the most suitable name for her?

Her name is Flocke now which means snow flake. It is a good name. She is doing fine and she is very cute. We had in Berlin last year a little male ice bear baby called Knut who had to be bottle fed, too. Maybe the two can marry one of them days, who knows. Happy mylotting!
