One baby elephant named Edgar was the star of the show in Berlin's Tierpark zoo on Monday as zoo staff organized a huge birthday party for the little Asian elephant. Dozens of people and plenty of journalists came out to the zoo to wish the little tyke a happy birthday and even sang for him as well. Zookeepers prepared a special treat for the baby pachyderm by making him a cake made of crunchy vegetables and rice, and giving him an extra portion of bananas. Edgar the elephant was born on January 1, 2016 on the grounds of the zoo in the German capital, making him a true new years baby. Edgar shared his special day and treats with his sisters, while adults and children admired the baby elephant. Some people captured the birthday celebrations by taking pictures and videos. Edgar is one of the seven Asian elephants living at the Berlin Zoo.
Video provided courtesy of the Berlin Zoo shows the adorable moments when an as yet unnamed newly born polar bear cub took his first steps. A camera captured Berlin Zoo’s newest Arctic addition trying and failing to stand up on the floor of his private enclosure Tonja, the mother polar bear, is breastfeeding her cub every couple of hours and keeping close watch over the little one as he scrambles about on the hay. The cub weighed just over 1 pound when it was born last month. The gender of the little bear hasn't yet been determined, but by the time polar bears are fully grown, males weigh nearly one thousand pounds and females weigh up to 550. Tonja gave birth to twins on November third, but, unfortunately, one of the pair died, a fact which is not uncommon in the wild. The cub was kept under special care by zoo staff and veterinarians for a month, common practice for zoos with newborn bear cubs, before press were even allowed to photograph the baby animal.
