(via Knut dead: German polar bear dies in front of 600 visitors at Berlin Zoo | Mail Online)
Knut, the world-famous polar bear, collapsed and died in front of 600 visitors at Berlin Zoo this afternoon.
The bear rose to stardom when he was hand-raised by zoo keepers after being rejected by his mother at birth.
Bear keeper Heiner Kloes from the zoo said the four-year-old was alone in his compound. He says the cause is not yet clear.
‘He was by himself in his compound, he was in the water, and then he was dead,’ said Mr Kloes. ’ He was not sick, we don’t know why he died.’
I feel so bad for this poor bear - this makes me hate zoos with a passion
