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.
Sipura and Larisa Have Wandering Eyes
There's double the trouble(some) cuteness with these twins! Meet baby panthers Larisa and Sipura born on Apr. 26 at Tierpark Berlin.
Baby Tiger's Stoked For a Fully Stocked Toy Box
Oh, silly tiger! That's a toy, not a snack. See this new German babe (born April 5) eat, rest, and generally look adorable .
Double the Baby Coatis, Double the Fun!
Can't resist the Coati cuteness! These two kits reside in Hanover, Germany where their lil hog noses already sniff out the available goodies. The raccoon-related mammals love fruit (as evidenced) and also enjoy insects and small mammals.
There's Three Times the Baby Jaguar Fun With New, Cute Cubs
OK, so I haven't been to Germany since I was 13, but the loads of furry fun I keep spotting from this country makes me want to plan a Summer trip. Meet three Berlin babes — lil jaguars born just five weeks ago. Now, a sucker for the cute like me surely couldn't let this moment pass without adding a whole gallery of their flowery romp.
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.
Zounds! Zhongni and Zhang Jie Have Dazzling Baby Blues
Not only 'cause they're super cute, but the recent birth of these two North Chinese Leopards is extra special since there's only around 100 in captivity worldwide! Native to Northern China (duh), the big cats have darker orange background fur than many other leopards and a unique pattern. If you look closely at their rosettes, you'll see a differently-colored spot within them – this is commonly found in jaguars but not in any other leopard subspecies.
Awwwwfully Up Close and Personal With Two Lil Lions
It's another adoro lil big cat, this time a different species (Java's a leopard) but just as ready for that close-up. The four-week-old lion cub was born in Dortmund, Germany and there's actually a twin.
No joke but these two are already quite the soccer stars, perhaps in training for next year's World Cup and taking after another German animal we love to look at?
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.
