Polar Bears in germany
Old 05-12-2008

In november, the efamle Verena at Nuremberg Zoo, Mother of the handraised Flocke, gave birth to twins, and this time, she's raising them by herself.

The whole area around the polar exhibit is closed now, to do the bestpossible for the mother and here youngsters.

And becuase the geramns are just interetsed now in polar bears, this birth means a sensation, because its so hard breeding them.(Ha,Ha )

But I guess, a lot of people are dissapointed that Verana is raising them by herself, only handraised polar bear cubs are interesting...

And the Animal Righteners are sshouting Stop Breeding polar Bears in Zoos.
