Knut the Polar Bear Dies
20-03-2011

Sad news, as reported by Der Spiegel:

http://www.spiegel.de/panorama/0,1518,752008,00.html



Knut, the famous (infamous?) Polar Bear was found dead in the pool of the exhibit; cause of death is not yet know.


EDIT: If a moderator sees this and could edit the 'the' back in between 'Knut' and 'Polar Bear' in the title that'd be great!

A true zoo celebrity of the modern age and sadly at such a young age.

Yes, just four years old. Will be interesting to see the findings of the autopsy.




(thanks for reinstating my 'the', by the way!)

Oh Nooooooooooooooooo, Not Knut ! Please say, its not True !

Do i detect a hint of sarcasm

20-03-2011

I look forward to the day when he realises how badly sarcasm translates in writing!

20-03-2011

And I look forward the day, you will find out Sarcasm is the Spice of Life !

20-03-2011

And here I thought that variety was the spice of life?

On the news it said he had a seizure right in front of the view of the public

History repeats itself? London Zoo's famous Polar Bear 'Brumas' who engendered similar hysteria as a cub, also died at a young age- 8 years, twice as old as Knut but still very young for a Polar Bear.

Knuts Storry has got now a Happy End, he's in heaven together again with his bottle-Daddy.

We'll miss you, Knut ! Fascinating, hundreds of people bring flowers to Knut exhibit, but most of this people wouldn't bring flowers to the grave of their's grandmother....

But he cares about thousands of dead japanese or lybian people, when the worlds most beloved polar bear dies ?

I could find out, the mayas were wrong. The end of the world isn't in 2012, it is this year ! First, Michael Jackson died in 2009, and this year, we have the desaster in japan, the war in Lybia and now, Knuts Death ! Thats the Beginning of the End of the World !

You need to see a psychologist.

DEDICATED IN LOVELY MEMORY OF OUR BELOVED KNUT

The Day Knut, the Polar bear Dies

Knut lay dreaming in the grass
His head full of crazy ideas
And just for fun he said
C'mon, let's go to the females
But the fish tasted bitter
Still, Knut told me what he saw
A sea of lights and colours
He had no idea
What soon would come to pass

The day when Knut, the polar bear died
All the bells were ringing
The day when Knut the Polar bear died
All his friends wept for him
It was a hard day
Because a world inside me fell apart

He often promise that he'd leaves the females alone
That gave me fresh courage
And I persuaded myself
That, with love, everything would be fine
But the game became serious
There was no stopping the downhill slide
Vistors started talking
But nobody offered Knut help

The day when Knut the Polar Bear died etc.

The last time he said
Now I can see heaven
I screamed at him, oh come back
and leve the females alone
I didn't even have any more tears
I had lost everything I had
Life simply goes on
All that's left me
Are the flowers on his grave

The Day, Knut, the Polar Bear dies....
