It made me very sad to read this. R.I.P, Knut.

They determined the cause of death to be some brain disease, or disease that affected the brain. Some closer examinations are expected to determine the cause more clearly and should be published within the next days.

Last December, coincidentally the same month Knut was born, two polar bear cubs were born at Nuremberg Zoo who have now made their first public appearance (also by accident just days after his passing).

It always makes me sad to learn of the passing of little living creatures--most of the time, I think that animals are better than people.

Thank you for the link about the cubs at the Nuremburg Zoo. Life goes on, I guess.

I discovered Knut on youtube this month he was so cute! And I was saddened to find out his trainer/father had passed and he passed later. Some people said it was of a broken heart.

I don't see what's so bad with taxidermy? The Polar bear is dead now,
only better so it can be used for educational stuff like this.
If not the "remains of Knut" would end up being destroyed anyway.
Which would be a total waste.
