Not bad for a polar bear cub in Germany. Yesterday, the news was about how she had to be separated from her mother due to fear that she could be eaten by her mother. Now she has his own web page where visitors can read about her progress. "We're getting 15 e-mails with name suggestions every minute," city spokesman Robert Hackner said. "This afternoon we received over 1,000 suggestion for a name." He did not give examples. But for now, the zoo's keepers have dubbed the cub, thought to be female, Flocke — German for flake, as in snow flake — because of its brilliantly white and fluffy fur. You can visit the web page here: http://www.eisbaer.nuernberg.de Unfortunately, the page is in German and you need some kind of translator to read that page but you can get to see how cute the cub is there.

I am in Germany. Yes, our zoos are having success lately raising polar bears. The newspapers here are full of pictures. Last year we had a polar bear baby here in Berlin. He is a lad now. Maybe he can marry the little bear girl in later years when she is grown. Many Germany go to the zoos to look at the polar bears. They are a great joy for the public. Happy mylotting!
