The polar bear cub Hertha plays with a ball of soccer club Hertha BSC, after the announcement of her name, at the Tierpark zoo in Berlin, on April 2, 2019. Berlin's Tierpark zoo has unveiled the much-anticipated name of its new star attraction, a four-month-old polar bear cub. Hertha, born on December 1, 2018, is named after the German capital's eponymous top league soccer club, which is sponsoring the animal. The club's mascot — a brown bear — presented a ball bearing with the cub's name at the zoo on Tuesday. Berlin's last celebrity polar bear, Knut, died prematurely from illness in 2011 at age 4.
