Waning excitement over polar bear Knut remains minimal
In the heart of Berlin's Natural History Museum, a poignant exhibit continues to capture the hearts of visitors - that of Knut, the polar bear. Born in 2006, Knut quickly became an icon of cuteness, despite being the largest land predator.
Knut's life began with a bit of an unusual start. After his mother rejected him, a zookeeper named Thomas Dörflein took it upon himself to raise the cub with a bottle. This unconventional method of care only added to Knut's endearing appeal.
Over the next five years, Knut's life was documented by millions, as over 11 million visitors watched him grow up. During his lifetime, Knut was known for his playful antics and gentle demeanour, earning him a special place in many hearts.
Sadly, in 2011, Knut passed away due to brain inflammation. However, his legacy lives on. After his death, Knut was put on display at the Natural History Museum, where he continues to inspire awe and admiration.
The museum director stated that no one got as close to Knut during his lifetime as they can now. The exhibit offers a unique opportunity for visitors to learn about the life of this beloved polar bear and appreciate his impact on the world.
Today, Knut's display at the Natural History Museum continues to receive a lot of admiration. His story serves as a reminder of the bond that can form between humans and animals, and the lasting impact that such connections can have.
So, if you find yourself in Berlin, be sure to pay a visit to Knut at the Natural History Museum. His exhibit is a testament to the power of love and the enduring spirit of one of the world's most iconic polar bear cubs.
