Knut, the polar bear at the Berlin Zoo, who has been adored by millions around the world, has been found dead, the DPA newswire reported. The four-year-old polar bear collapsed and died this morning in his pen, the newswire reported zoo official Heiner Kloes as saying. Knut, who was the only polar bear ever raised by humans, was found floating in the water in his cage.
When Knut was born, he was no bigger than a snowball and unable to care for himself. His mother didn't know how to take care of Knut and rejected him. Knut would have died if it weren't for Thomas Dorflein, a zookeeper who nurtured Knut and gave him the love and attention he needed to thrive. The adorable little polar bear captured the world's attention, and now Knut is loved around the globe.
