Orbitty: "What huge paws! He looks just like a teddy I used to have."

Me too. In fact, I still have it, although it's a little worse for the wear. They were the holiday plushes at some department store the year Klondike and Snow were born at the National Zoo.

Would that be Flocke Wallpaper then?

Thanks a lot, Harrismint! Now I have my ex-SIL's nasty flocked red living room wallpaper stuck in my mind. Must concentrate on the Flocke to cleanse the mental palate....

Flocke is a female Polar Bear, Knut (Berlin Zoo) is male. Both totally charming babies.

Thats so cute I could puke a rainbow.

Adelaide
 |  Apr 17, 2008 at 05:16 AM

Ahaha, yes, the "croc impersonation" is quacking me up. And the first one is way too anerable for human consumption.

Babs
 |  Apr 17, 2008 at 05:44 AM

The Maine cubs are way more prosh. Cuteness is everywhere, but I like mine local.

Nancy
 |  Apr 17, 2008 at 05:57 AM

The one with the little green goatee is keeeling me. Goatees on polar bears--cute. Goatees on human males--eh, not so much.

In the first pic. it looks like she's auditioning for the next edition of "why yes, those are my 'tocks, why?" And, darned cute 'tocks they are, too!

Just for the record, Klondike and Snow were born here at the Denver Zoo!

The scrolldown on the second photo is hilarious. At first I thought it was an iceberg.

In the 3rd picture she is totally blowing bubbles with her nose.

Karen
 |  Apr 17, 2008 at 06:47 AM

OMG OMG OMG!!!! Meg posted something from MEEEEEEEEEE!!!!

Oh, and these baby polar bears, I just love them. Makes my heart swell to watch them!!!!
Baby Bear definitely needs a bath in that last picture! I volunteer!!!

Kris
 |  Apr 17, 2008 at 07:16 AM

Lovin that swimming picture - "Scubabear's gon' get u" or "marine bear leaves no trace" or "PERISCOPE DOWN!" So many macro ideas.

Fegli
 |  Apr 17, 2008 at 07:45 AM

Well, I've been doing it wrong all these years! I've always tested the temperature of the water with my big toe. D'oh! Who knew I should have been using my nose!

Is Flocke going to become dirty and bitter like Knut?

[Excuse me, but "bitter" ?? - Ed.]

Edith
 |  Apr 17, 2008 at 07:52 AM

Okay, stay with me here, but in the fourth picture, does she not look kinda like a little rocker dude with a goatee?

Ameeeee
 |  Apr 17, 2008 at 08:01 AM

how do I post a picture??? Help!

Linda
 |  Apr 17, 2008 at 09:33 AM

Knut got bitter? I mean, sure, being a child star is difficult, but it's not like he didn't get into boxhab.

CoffeeCup
 |  Apr 17, 2008 at 10:38 AM

again, how do I post a pic?

Linda
 |  Apr 17, 2008 at 11:09 AM

Linda -- over in the right-hand margin, see the "Got Cute?" section there? That's the starting point for content submissions.

By the way, I have heard from a Reliable Source that a Cute Overload page re-design is in the works, which will make finding things like this easier (and prettier).

Theo
 |  Apr 17, 2008 at 11:14 AM

her nose is heart-shaped!

Arvay
 |  Apr 17, 2008 at 12:47 PM

Awwwww - babeee polar bears are soooooo cute! I have a Maltese pup that I call my babee polar bear cause the coloring is the same. (but at least mine will always stay small and never eat me) :) Flocke and Knut are both gorgeous!!

Chanya
 |  Apr 17, 2008 at 12:58 PM

Oh my! Is that for real? Sooo cute! My daughter is going to love it when I show her.

Tammy
 |  Apr 17, 2008 at 01:07 PM

Ooh, a redesign? Very interesting!

hey-h
 |  Apr 17, 2008 at 02:15 PM

I guess it's Flocke, but that water just looks so cool and refreshing!!!!! The special additive---QTE!

Gail
 |  Apr 17, 2008 at 02:59 PM

Knut's got nothing on Flocke. The city of Nuremberg has plastered itself with these posters:

Translation: KNUT WAS YESTERDAY.

Leslie
 |  Apr 17, 2008 at 03:56 PM

Knut is not "so yesterday". He's a living, breathing creature who isn't getting all attention he used to b/c, shocker!, he GOT BIG. Same thing will happen to this little one too. I like the idea of Flocke and Knut cubs. They say he is looking for a GF. She's a bit young right now tho!

The 2nd pic is my fave. Blowing Bubbles!!! Don't all baby animals do that at some point?

Shannon
 |  Apr 17, 2008 at 06:20 PM

LOL Berthaservant.

Seriously enjoying all these comments. You help
me appreciate the photos more--had to go back for a
second look.
The croc picture I have named "Lake Placid"...
Sorry in advance...I just have to say
"Flocke knocks my sockes off..."

Cannot BELIEVE no ones gone for 'Flockes tocks' yet. They're CLEARLY there people.

MaliceAlice
 |  Apr 18, 2008 at 12:19 AM

Berthaservant, John Denver is my favorite!! Thank you for pointing that out - now I like the picture even MORE, if that's possible!

Knut's moved from cute status to beautiful status, in my book. Grown polar bears are so majestic. Flocke will be there soon. Then, we'll need a NEW baby bear to fawn over!!

Kris
 |  Apr 18, 2008 at 05:49 AM

THANX THEO! :-)

The first pic is my favorite.
Second pic - I like how it is so very, "Zee crea-tchere of zeh deep moves closer...," like others commented.

Dear Flocke,
This is a real sappy comment, but you have made
a wonderful difference in my life...Your photo and story in the newspaper led
me to CuteOverload.(But I'll be all right...) I believe in you, Flocke (clapping hands energetically)...(This comment should come with a
warning label)...Now I'm loving a little polar bear, and dignity and pride
no longer matter (good thing, cause I never had any...)
Your constant admirer,
Totally Puppy
