Maybe the Little Berlin will leave in two years, due to the European breeding programme, perhaps, but also in the developed enclosure. Without the phenomenon of Knut and Thomas hamlet, there would have been anyway, never as a attention for a polar bear baby. But the attention is just right, stress to the animal Park, and Hertha-chief, because Hertha is an Ambassador for the global warming to endangered species. According to a UN study, the Arctic will be in ten years, ice-free in summer. "So the life would be the basis of the polar bears way," says curator Sicks. In the water floating and starving polar bears, their prey animals are much faster. And when the pregnant females could seize in the summer, no reserves of fat for the milk, her Survival and that of the young animals is almost impossible. Hertha-managing Director, Schiller said, the Club wishes to extend the use of new, green technologies, electric and Hybrid cars as well as the compensatory payments for emissions of greenhouse gases check.

Not all like the name "Hertha"

At the Alte Försterei in Köpenick at FC Union, said: "We find the small, Hertha very cute and wish her that she will be big and strong." Michael Grunst (Left), district mayor of Lichtenberg, where the animal Park is located, said of the naming: "I heard that, I thought, the toothbrush drops me into the water." Add to this that he is a Fan of 1. FC Union. He had made the animal Park, even a name other proposal – due in part to the geographical reference in the East of Berlin: namely, the hockey-Junior "polar bear Juniors". Culture Senator Klaus Lederer (Left) looks relaxed: "As a polar bear, with origin origin the North Pole, should be the small fire boys Ost-a Senator and a West club. Important health and strength for the Little one.“

"Greta" was among the proposals is very popular

Antje Kapek, group leader of the Greens said: "it Is a really nice gesture of Hertha – but Greta, I would have found also a strong character."
