These beauties and beasts added some color to Berlin's first shipment of -- albeit fake -- snow, which was brought to the city's central Postdamer Platz square on Thursday, Oct. 30, to coat a sled run that's set up ahead of Christmas each year. While the German capital was mainly suffering from large amounts of rain, other parts of the country actually saw their first real snow.
