The Berlin Tierpark zoo is showing off its new polar bear cub, a three-month-old with a cuteness and playfulness that could make her the German capital鈥檚 next animal celebrity.
The bear, who hasn鈥檛 been named, was born Dec. 1 and the zoo says she鈥檚 developing well.
She was allowed to venture out of her indoor cage for the first time Friday, and enjoyed romping around with her mother Tonja and swimming in the enclosure鈥檚 chilly pond.
The zoo says the cub will be now be allowed out daily for all to see.
The Tierpark has the same management as Berlin鈥檚 other zoo, which was home to celebrity polar bear, Knut, whose fame landed him a Vanity Fair cover. He died prematurely from illness in 2011 at age 4.
