A Difficult Goodbye to Knut the Polar Bear


It is with a heavy heart that I share the news that beloved polar bear Knut is dead.  I have written about Knut 10 times, starting when he was a baby and being threatened by "animal-rights" activists.  I had regular updates on the cutest bear ever. 

Then he grew up to be an adult and thus not so cute.  My last update was an article that said Knut was turning into a "publicity-addicted psycho bear."  He was found today dead in the water - did he kill himself?  I can only wonder if he ended up like so many self-destructive, troubled child stars.


He exists now only in our memories, as a cute, lovable baby bear.

MSNBC has a nice Knut retrospective photo gallery here.

Links to all my Knut posts, beginning with my first:

Talk about destroying the villiage to save it . . . so sad!

RIP Cute Knut (Welcome old, ugly Knut)

Nearing the end of an era

Another Knut-ty update!

WAAAAHH! I miss baby Knut!

Knut is going knuts!

 

RIP, Knut (2007-2011)
