Cute Knut The Bear

Knut - Celebrity Star

Here is a little cute star on the cover of magazine Vanity Fair! What a lovely baby!

Cute Knut a psycho?

Cute baby Knut is all grown up, and the German expert caretakers who watch him are saying the little bear is now a grown psychopath who will never mate.

Knut is no longer a fluffy little ball of white fur, more a muddy pawed, filthy brownish grey from the mud and dirty pools of water in his enclosure.

At a year old, Knut is bigger than a man when standing on his hind legs.

The Independent cites German animal rights activist, Frank Albrecht - who claims caged bears become so dependent on man that they end up divorced from nature and turn into hyperactive, disturbed freaks.

“Knut is a problem bear who has become addicted to human beings,” he said.

The German zoologist Peter Arras has described Knut as a “psychopath”.

Knut was rejected by his mother, described as “a disturbed circus bear” called Tosca, and most likely Knut would have been eaten by his mum if the zoo didn’t intervene.

Zookeeper Thomas Dörflein became Knut’s surrogate mother, hand-feeding his little bear day and night.

When Knut first appeared in public, the media went wild as the cute little baby bear posed and preened for cameras, snuggling up to his male, human “mama.”

Knut is said to face a “lonely future.” Zoologists say his likelihood of mating is nil. “Knut won’t manage anything with a female bear, I guarantee that,” insisted Dr Arras, reported the Independent.

Sing a Song for Knut

Here is a song for little bear star!

Will the German polar bear become Mrs Knut?

Nuremberg: What will Germany’s new polar bear celebrity be called?

Nuremberg Mayor Ulrich Maly has asked a jury to deliberate on Friday on a flood of suggestions — which arrived in more than 25,000 e-mails and postcards — for the official name of the 5-week-old white ball of fluff.

The decision was to be announced in the afternoon.

The bear cub rose to star status after being taken from her mother, Vera, on January 8 amid concerns that she could harm or even kill the newborn.

The Bavarian city’s zoo made the decision to bottle-feed the cub and not return her to her mother after keepers spotted Vera carrying the cub around in her jaws and tossing it around her enclosure.

Zookeepers provisionally dubbed the cub, born in early December, Flocke — German for flake, as in snow flake.

Proposals have included traditional German names — but among the suggestions are Nibs, Snow White, Aicha and Yuki Chan.

On the polar bear’s Internet home page, the zoo thanked all those who participated for “the many creative and original suggestions.”

Little more than a year ago, another polar bear club in Germany — Knut — was hand-raised by his keepers in Berlin and became a celebrity after being rescued when his mother rejected him.

Mass-circulation daily Bild already has asked of the new cub: “Will she become Mrs. Knut?”
