Visitors flock to Nuremberg Zoo for latest arrival

WITH all the fanfare of a film premiere or record release, Germany today introduced its latest winsome polar bear cub to a public eager for the first live glimpse of her.

Nuremberg Zoo’s four-month-old Flocke is already famous through videos and photographs.

Flocke, born December 11 and then rejected by her mother, made her public debut before television cameras just as interest in Berlin Zoo’s now fully-grown polar bear sensation, Knut, seems to be waning.
