The Associated Press just reported that "Knut", the polar bear that was quite popular in 2007, died at age 4. :saddowns: [img]http://img.thesun.co.uk/multimedia/archive/00028/F_200703_March24knut_28279a.jpg[/img] [quote]Berlin - Germany's best-loved and biggest animal star, the polar bear Knut born in captivity in Berlin Zoo, has died aged four, his keeper announced Saturday. Heiner Kloes, the keeper, found the four-year-old's body floating in the water of the pool in his enclosure. It was unclear exactly how he died. 'Knutmania' swept Germany, and the world, after his birth in December 2006, when zookeepers had to feed and look after Knut - the first polar cub born in captivity at the Berlin Zoo in more than 30 years - after his mother rejected him. Attendance at the zoo rocketed, and he even appeared on the cover of Vanity Fair magazine. Knut's place as Germany's best-known exotic animal was nearly eclipsed last year, when Paul the Octopus, kept at a marine world museum, correctly predicted a succession of World Cup matches.[/quote] [url=http://www.monstersandcritics.com/news/europe/news/article_1627308.php/Germany-s-star-polar-bear-Knut-dies-aged-4]Source[/url] RIP.

Goodbye you white furball :frown: You will be dearly missed. Always a shame when something so adorable leaves these realms.
oh man the life of this polar bear on this planet was far too short.
Ok? its a bear, how is this news? How about we make a thread every time an animal somewhere dies and act devastated about something that doesn't concern us. Oh wait, because more people here care about animal lives over human lives, so maybe it would work out.

Just because you've never heard of him, doesn't mean it's not important to anyone else. News on something emotional is still news. We're humans, not robots.

[QUOTE=:-P;28689926]A bear that everyone loved is in the news because it sadly passed away this is nothing to do with human life you idiot[/QUOTE] I know, but it seems more shitty puns/jokes in human death threads, than animal deaths.
[QUOTE=J!NX;28689964]I know, but it seems more shitty puns/jokes in human death threads, than animal deaths.[/QUOTE] If there are more jokes then it's getting more attention, isn't it? This bear was pretty cool and all to me, but it doesn't mean I can't make a joke about it. Even if you people think it was bad.
[QUOTE=J!NX;28689964]I know, but it seems more shitty puns/jokes in human death threads, than animal deaths.[/QUOTE] so what

Baby animals die everyday however. holy shit! A baby bear died! Hold the press!

Wasn't there a documentary made about him?
This had better not be the one that they had several pictures of holding on to the guy's leg!
This is more than anyone can bear, but we will persevere.
