Polar Bear Orphan Opens Eyes
Discovery News reports:
Jan. 16, 2008 -- Germany's latest famous polar bear cub opened her eyes for the first time on Tuesday.
Though her eyes have just opened as tiny slits, zoo keeper Stefanie Krueger said it appears she is "a little crossed-eyed."
However, "Flocke" -- as the keepers at the Nuremberg Zoo have dubbed the yet-to-be-named cub -- seems to be developing just fine, and veterinarian Bernhard Neurohr said he can already see her teeth shimmering through her gums.
"We are cautiously optimistic that we'll succeed in hand raising her," Krueger said.
