Knut The Cub Is Now A Bear

About a year ago, Knut the little polar bear, had captivated peoples attention when it became the first polar bear to be born in Berlin’s Zoo after 30 years.
Photographs and videos with cute Knut were all over the Internet. Unfortunately nature does not make any exceptions so Knut grew up and stopped being a cute little bear ![]()

Nevertheless the first movie with Knut came out and kids run to see it. Have a look at a little video.
Godfather is wanted for as little polar bear

The city of Nuremberg, Germany, created a website with sole purpose to find a name for the 4 week old polar bear cub that was born in the local zoo. The people in charge receive daily thousands of suggestions, making the little cub No 1 topic across the German Internet. The reason?
Watch the video and you will see how cute the cub is

2008: The year of Feta cheese, Kermit the frog and potatoes

It seems that we got a lot to look forward to for 2008 according to Nature. According to the famous journal various organisations and countries have declared 2008 to be many things. Lets take a look at the headlines:
-United Nations declared 2008 to be many things such as the international year of potato (suggestion by Peru), international year of sanitation (2.6bn people are with out it), the international year of planet earth (which lasts for 3 years) and the international year of languages.
-Amphibian Ark (a zoo community) declared 2008 to be the year of the frog (to prevent the extinction of 500 species)
-International Coral Reef Initiative declared 2008 (second year running) to raise coral reef awareness and their importance
-Virgin Galactic declared 2008 the year of the spaceship (hoping to make it a reality)
-Greece declared 2008 to be all about campaigning the well known fact that Feta cheese is Greek (apparently some Danish and UK companies dont think so when it comes to money)
-Australia declared 2008 to be the year of boy scouts (why?)
-England declared 2008 the year of the gardens
-European Union declared 2008 the year of intercultural dialogue
