Polar bear Corinna (L) stands in front of her baby Wilbaer during his first outing on April 16, 2008 at the Wilhelma zoo in Stuttgart, southern Germany. Wilbaer was born on December 10, 2007 at the zoo and is brought up by his mother, contrary to Berlin's world famous polar bear Knut and Nuremberg's Flocke.

德國南部斯圖加特威爾瑪動物園的北極熊貝比威熊（右），16日在熊媽媽可琳娜身後開心玩耍。去年12月10日誕生的威熊，本月16日才公開亮相，威熊從出生就跟在母熊身邊，和柏林動物園的北極熊納特及紐倫堡的小雪花由人工扶養長大不同。

德國北極熊紛絲又可以去追另一個明星動物了。

Stuttgart's Wilhelma zoo presented 4-month-old Wilbaer to the public on April 16, bringing the fluffy cub outdoors alongside his mother, Corinna. Wilbaer made his debut just a week after the Nuremberg zoo presented its female cub, Flocke, who has been hand-raised since her mother was seen tossing the cub around her enclosure in January.

斯圖加特威爾瑪動物園16日帶著4個月大的威熊亮相，這隻全身毛茸茸的小熊在室外和北極熊媽媽可琳娜玩耍。威熊是在紐倫堡動物園的小母熊小雪花會見遊客後一周登場，小雪花於1月間在圍欄內被母熊亂扔有生命之虞，而被帶離母熊身邊，由人工扶養。

No such worries for Wilbaer, who initially stuck close by his mother when he emerged on April 16. The cub sniffed at rocks and tentatively stuck his front paws in the water, before eventually following his mother's lead and diving in.

威熊沒有這方面的顧慮，他4月16日初次和群眾見面後，一開始一直緊跟在媽咪身邊。小北極熊接著聞聞岩石，並試驗性地伸出前爪到水裡，最後並在媽媽帶領下一起潛入水裡。

Wilbaer was born on Dec. 10, a day before Flocke. However, the zoo only announced his birth at the end of February, citing the media frenzy that surrounded the Berlin zoo's hand-raised polar bear cub Knut last year as its reason for keeping the arrival under wraps at first. Still, zoo officials say they have had his name-- a combination of the zoo's name and the German for bear, ''Baer'' -- registered as a trademark.

威熊去年12月10日出生，就在小雪花出生前一天。但園方直到二月底才宣布他的出生，主要鑑於媒體瘋狂採訪柏林動物園人工飼養的北極熊納特，一開始才會把熊寶貝出生的消息保密。園方人員並解釋說，他們幫他取名威熊，主要是結合動物園的名字「威爾瑪」和德文的「熊」（bare），合在一起就叫威熊，並已註冊為商標。
