The Good Knut
by digby
Is there no end to the bad news?
The four-year-old cub reportedly collapsed and died Saturday at the Berlin Zoo. The world embraced Knut as our own after his mother rejected him shortly after birth. He beat the odds as the only polar bear ever raised by humans, showing an adorable affection toward his Berlin Zoo trainer – and adoptive father – Thomas Dörflein. But Saturday, Knut passed away of unknown causes while alone in the zoo’s polar bear enclosure.
RIP Knut.
