Sad Update:

 

Berlin zoo Knut, the beloved polar bear, is dead Mail Online

 

Knut, the world-famous polar bear, has died.

The bear who rose to stardom when he was hand-raised by zoo keepers after being rejected by his mother at birth collapsed in front of 600 visitors to Berlin Zoo this afternoon.

Bear keeper Heiner Kloes from the zoo said the four-year-old was alone in his compound. He says the cause is not yet clear.

'He was by himself in his compound, he was in the water, and then he was dead,' said Mr Kloes. ' He was not sick, we don't know why he died.'

I wonder if the PETA psychopaths will be celebrating?

Über-cute, a savage predator, hated by PETAphiles - a life well-lived.

Knut, RIP.

You almost have to wonder if the PETA psychopaths poisoned him.
