But, we can't help ourselves. We got new footage from the Nuremberg zoo in southern Germany. She's is one of the country's youngest polar bear cubs turned media star."Flocke," or flake, is seen taking a bath in an outdoor pool and walking about the open pen usually inhabited by the zoo's tigers. They're elsewhere while their cages are being done up.Little Flocke was born on December 11, 2007 and her keepers decided soon after the polar bear's birth that mother "Vera" was unfit to raise her own baby without harming it.Flocke, which by now weighs 16.5 kilograms. She has four keepers to prevent it becoming attached to just one person, which could lead to her adopting human behavior.
