LeftyBears by Natascha SaboJust the other day I went to the zoo in Stuttgart. Of course I visited the bears first. Well, the two brown bears were already outside, the spectacled bears (according to a sign) still in hibernation, but what about the polar bears?
The male, Anton, was outside, but where was his female Corinna? Okay, I thought, maybe she is having a rest and will be outside later that day, so I decided to visit all the other animal and check back later.
But- Anton was still alone.
And then, a wonderful thought came to my mind: What if they had a baby? That would be a very good explanation for Corinna not being outside. Okay, there hadn't been any news about a baby-polar bear yet, but maybe they just wanted to keep it as a secret until the first critical weeks would be over? Or simply to avoid a "show" like in Nürnberg where the to female polar bears were so terribly disturbed by press and TV?
And guess what? I was right!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :dance:
it was just in the news on the radio! There really is a baby polar bear in Stuttgart! :dance:
Born on Dec.10th 2007, raised by it's mum and will be presented to the public from in May.
I'm soo happy and sooo excited about those wonderful news! :dance:
Now I have to get me a zoo-ticket for the whole year and then I will be spending lots of time watching this sweet little baby with his mum!
Oh, I nearly forgot: Here is a link to the zoos website: www.wilhelma.de
Click on "Willkommen Wilbär" or "Aktuelles zu Wilbär" to see the first pictures.

Past Time BearsBaby polars are sooooo sweet looking! Pure and innocent.
Hi Natascha,
thank you for sharing these news with us. I looked at the pictures, Wilbaer is just adorable 
and I can see why you are so excited.
Matilda Huggington-beareThat is truely wonderful news Natascha. Thankyou for sharing. We don't have Polar bears at the Perth zoo. Actually we only have one 'Sunbear'. Which is slightly disappointing.
