Knut, Famous Polar Bear, Found Dead

Knut -- the famous polar bear raised by zookeepers in Germany -- died Saturday in his compound, a Berlin zoo official announced today. Knut became famous after he was rejected by his mother at birth and raised by zookeepers at the Berlin Zoo.

Very sad.

Saw it online, there were several visitors at his enclosure when he died. They said he was in the water, then all of a sudden he stopped moving. An autopsy is planned. Bad enough polar bears are in so much trouble in their natural habitat, but for a captive born cub to die where he would presumably have better chances for survival is really sad.

Some pictures of the little guy.
