Gianna's in Berlin, First Date With Knut Coming Soon!
Over a month ago, this pretty Polar Bear made the news as the future romantic interest (hopefully) of Knut the cute. Hailing from Munich's Hellabrunn Zoo, she's now on display in Berlin and ready for her love connection.
The 2-year-old gal will explore the enclosure of the world-famous bear, but they will not meet face-to-face until special measures are implemented.
Who Is "Zoo Cute" in Berlin?
All my past joking aside, Germany has some famously furry zoo animals! From Flocke (in Nuremberg) to Rosalie and Jasper (in Hanover), I can't get enough. However, first and foremost is Berlin — home of two zoo-mazing establishments, Tierpark Berlin on the east side and Berlin Zoologischer Garten on the west.
Hamburg's Hungry, Hungry (Baby) Hippos Have Hairy Faces?!
I guess I've never seen a hippo that close up to compare, but look how hairy the face is! This happy family lives in Hamburg, Germany – the babies, born in November and January, were the first to join the zoo in a number of years. OK, so maybe I don't know if they're hungry but they certainly seem thirsty and to love playing in water .
It's Swimtime For Berlin's Baby Hippo!
Although it isn't Monifa (who's currently a close second in our cutest zoo baby of '08 poll), this equally adoro hippo is having some watery fun with mama, Kati, at the Berlin Zoo! Born less than a month ago on Nov. 29, it makes sense that the yet-unnamed babe can already swim since many hippopotamuses are born underwater with the mom pushing the lil one to the surface to breathe, and even nursing while in there.
Happy Second Birthday, Knut the Cute!
The fella I'd name the world's most famous polar bear (followed by Flocke) celebrates his second birthday today at Zoo Berlin! That means Knut got even more visitors than usual . .
Have You Ever Seen a Vicuña? (Hint: Check Out Baby Antonio.)
These llama-like creatures are actually the smallest members of the camel family, rarely weighing over 130 pounds full-grown. Lil Antonio was born on Oct. 14 in the Zoologischer Garten in Berlin – the first of his species born at the zoo in 10 years.
The Scoop: Knut's Caretaker Dies
You remember Knut the cute, right? Sadly this Polar Bear will have to celebrate his next birthday (come December) without his famous caretaker, Thomas Doerflein. The selfless German zookeeper that cared for one of the world's most recognizable creatures passed away this week – I've taken the time to honor his life with the bear in this slideshow.
The Scoop: Baby Tiger Antares Is a Cutie!
It's one small step for tigers as lil Antares takes a tentative stumble at his enclosure at the Tierpark Berlin in Germany yesterday. The 121st tiger cub was born at this zoo on June 23 and just had a public debut. As you can see, he's all ready for his closeup .
This Rhino Cutie Is Only Four Days Old!
Meet Manjula – this baby Indian rhinoceros was born on April 29 at Zoo Berlin in Germany to mom Betty and dad Patna. In fact, she was born smack dab Sunday afternoon so hundreds of zoo visitors got to watch her birth on the spot! Whoa.

Quick-Thinking Zookeepers Save Woman From Hungry Bears
Last Friday, a 32-year-old woman leaped a fence and scaled a wall to jump into a Berlin Zoo enclosure holding four polar bears (including Knut). Six zookeepers attempted to distract the bears, but she was still bitten several times by one of the creatures. Even though it was their normal feeding time, she was able to be pulled out safely – minus those injuries – and was rushed to the hospital for surgery.
