That’s heartbreaking.
I wonder if that’s why his mother rejected him. Sad.
“That’s heartbreaking.”
But that’s why his mother abandoned him. She knew he wasn’t right, nor healthy. Sad,,,, but true.
...shortly after seeing Hussein’s budget.
Also, he was frustrated by not being sure if the ‘K’ in his name was silent or not!
Warning for the softhearted: The video is hard to take.
Fuzzy little angel. He was four when he died, but he’ll always be Knut der Kleine Eisbär, to me.
I have a German friend who’s quite upset about this.
As he grew into an adolescent, animal welfare grouped worried all the attention was causing him to behave abnormally.
He would sway to and fro, and imitate fans taking photos by lifting a paw to his face.
His enclosure at the zoo is now a shrine to his memory. He will be stuffed and put on display in a museum.
The parallels with Alexander the Great just keep piling up.

besides it was caused by global warming.
I take it you never heard about Knut before. It’s quite an interesting story. Any search engine will point you in the right direction.
Algore told me that it's global warming that's killing all the polar bears!!!!

That was my first thought. His mother rejected him - for a reason. And why is that sad? It is the way of things.
Men are too prone to anthropomorphism, IMO.
Why do you think Obamas mother abandoned him ? Not right in the head or screwed up from a botched abortion.
Darn, this is sad. Poor little guy.
Before there was Knut- there was Wojtek (Voytek in English) the Soldier Bear.
