Germany debuts another impossibly cute polar bear

5/22/2012

​Aww, look at those eyes! Anori, the newest star at the zoo in Wuppertal, Germany, is a five-month-old polar bear who just yesterday made her entrance onto the world stage when keepers there opened her enclosure for public viewing. Naturally, extreme cuteness ensued as Anori sniffed everything in sight, stumbled over logs and got a quick tongue bath from mom, Vilma. Interestingly, Anori is the half-sister of Knut, the other polar bear at the Wuppertal Zoo who shot to worldwide fame. Sadly, Knut died in 2011, but here's to a long, healthy life for Anori.
