Move over Knut, Paul. Here's Heidi!

Here's the latest installment of animals in German zoos gaining worldwide stardom.

First, there was Knut the Polar Bear.

I heard on the news that he may have been porked to death by lady bears

Others claimed that Knut had died of stress, saying he was bullied by the three female bears he shared the enclosure with - Tosca, Nancy and Katjuscha.

'They should have given him a compound of his own,' said pensioner Brigit Krause. 'The ladies were constantly harassing him.'

Ahh maybe not then, more like nagged to death...
