Awww Knut!

How can you not love this little guy? Well, here he is, all grown up.

Knut was abandoned by his mother at birth and was raised by a group of Berlin Zoo keepers. The little bear captivated the public and the Berlin Zoo featured daily shows with Knut. At the height of his fame he was featured on the cover of the German Vanity Fair. Now over 200lbs, Knut is too big for human interaction and will most likely be housed with other polar bears his age. Recently he was adopted as mascot for an endangered species conference being held in Bonn in 2008.
