List of Non-fictional Bears - Flocke

Flocke

Flocke was born in captivity at the Nuremberg Zoo in Nuremberg, Germany on 11 December 2007. The polar bear's name means "Flake" (as in snowflake) in German. After concerns over the cub's safety were raised due to her aggressive mother, Flocke was removed from the other bears in the zoo and raised by hand. She later became a popular tourist attraction at the zoo; her trademarked name and image became the subject of several toys and games, and she was also used to spearhead a publicity campaign for the metropolitan region of Nuremberg. In April 2010, Flocke and another Nuremberg bear, Rasputin, were moved to Marineland in southern France.
