Did you see the video? It was awful. Poor thing. I probably would of been jumping into the enclosure trying to pull him out of the water. They are doing an autopsy to see what happened.

Ooops sorry.

That's really sad about Knut. He was a cute little bear (that grew up into a cute big bear).

Poor guy. He was the most adorable cub on the planet. I hope he didn't suffer.

Sorry I duplicate posted about this! My youngest son was a big fan of Knut! The book about him is his favorite. So sad! His keeper that raised him died of a heart attack in 2008. A great pair, they will both be missed very much.
