Remember back in 2007, when a baby polar bear who was abandoned by it’s mother at birth rocked the world with controversy if it where to live raised by humans?

Well, here are some of his cute videos for you to watch.

One environmentalist group voiced their opinnion saying the cub should be put down because it wouldn’t be able to survive and adapt to a normal life, and thus it’s fame begin with mass media coverage and tons of protests to keep him alive.

Seems it was the first polar bear cub to survive without it’s mother in more than 30 years at the Berlin Zoo.
Not shure if this one is also from Knut, but looks like him.

Knut is now a much less cute grown polar bear, and zookeepers and people are discussing on what to do to train him for a life in the wild. Lawsuits involving the people who created Knut and the zoo also happened, which is kinda expected for stuff that gets famous.
Read more about it at the Wikipedia entry on Knut.
