Sorry, mis-read.

...officials were able to keep the animal away from the intruder by distracting him with a leg of beef....So the guy jumps in to see the polar bear, but forgets all about the bear when he sees some beef?
Weird.

Hmmm, entire man versus a leg of beef. I don’t think the polar bear made the rational choice.

I thought it said “distracted with a keg of beer”.That would certainly distract me.

You have to wonder what Knut thinks about all the attention he continues to get from the public. Not that he wouldn’t eat the guy (it’s the natural order of things).

You have to wonder what Knut thinks about all the attention he continues to get from the public. Judging from the photos, it appears Knut enjoys the attention:

Take heart, Charles. Maybe next time the candidate will take his own leg of beef to lure Knut in. There is still hope!
