Media circus at zoo for Germany's new polar bear cub

April 08, 2008

Flocke fever gripped Germany on Tuesday as television cameras prepared to broadcast live pictures of the public debut of the latest polar bear cub to steal the nation's hearts. Four-month old Flocke -- German for snowflake -- has until now been kept behind closed doors at Nuremberg zoo and has been hand-reared by zookeepers because of fears her mother might harm her.
