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.
Love Is in the Air! Knut the Cute Gets a Mate
All we need is love, love as Knut the cute is getting his very own girlfriend. Check out this stunning 2-year-old polar bear, Gianna. Originally from Italy, she's currently in a zoo in Munich but will be joining Knut soon!
Knut's Still Without a Home, Yet Still a Ham
Say it isn't so! Knut's allegedly up for grabs (or something) as there's been talk in recent months about the world's most famous polar bear needing a new home. The time's coming for him to find a mate, and there simply may not be enough room for him and a new fertile female at Zoo Berlin.While it's still uncertain if Knut the Cute's days at his German zoo are numbered, I bet no matter where this bear goes, the cameras are sure to follow.
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.
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.
Awww! Meet Baby Giant, Adolpho
With a name as cute as his adoro nose, Adolpho lives in Zoo Berlin (also home to Knut the famous Polar Bear). Born on May 3, this Giant Anteater already loves the keepers at his new home . .
Who's Cuter: Flocke or Knut?
Okay, it's a different way to pick a cutie fave. This time, I'm asking who you think is cuter: Flocke or Knut? To make it fair, I've included pictures of the currently five-month-old Flocke and pictures of Knut when he was just six-months-old.
Friday Mythbuster: Elephants and Mice
If you recall the film featuring this big-eared pachyderm and his animated mouse pal, you'll remember he wasn't too keen about meeting this rodent. Now, I'm not sure where the idea that elephants are scared of mice originated from, but I'd like to take the time to assure you, it's not entirely true!
Think about it.
The Scoop: Welcome Flocke!
It's official — this 5-week-old polar bear cub has been named Flocke by zookeepers in Nuremberg today. They'd already affectionately dubbed the fuzzy one with that name meaning "flake" and ended up sticking to it. This baby was rescued after mother bear, Vera, appeared to be increasingly aggressive towards the cub, picking her up and dropping her .

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.
