I was able to visit him in March 2009. Here are some pictures from the yard where he stayed* New - a video of Knut that I shot myself
I knew that a polar bear was a smart animal, but it was impossible to be impressed because most of the polar bears I saw (in zoos of course) were indifferent. Therefore, I did not imagine what I would encounter when I visited one of the most famous polar bears - Knut, who was born in the Berlin Zoo in 2006 and was rejected by his mother.
He was raised by the caretakers of the kindergarten and became an impressive animal, but also a smart one. During the half hour that I was near the cage or rather his yard in March 2009, he had time to swim kilometers in the pool (where, by the way, he died yesterday), sunbathe, play with squeaking rubber dolls from a bag that the caregivers tied so that he could release some energy, but one of the most beautiful things was the game His in the ball. Someone must have thrown him a light plastic ball from the audience, and he enjoys jumping into the water, catching it in his mouth and throwing it back to the applause of the audience.

Stupid site and what a bear nest
Maschanchik… 🙁
I understand it was sudden death, any idea what caused it?
Can I recommend you, my father, to change your main picture on the website, where you look like an alien
In your beautiful and smiling picture from this article.
Tomer The connection is that Polar bears are an animal that is in danger of extinction, so we follow them more, b. I happened to meet him as an ordinary visitor. third. He illustrated that the bears are a very vigilant animal.
To a straw man - he was born in the zoo. Apart from that, today zoos have changed their purpose and from entertainment they have become a factor involved in the cultivation of reproductive nuclei, among other things for the purpose of returning to nature extinct species and few of them that survived did so in zoos.
And what does this have to do with the science site?
The place of animals is in nature, not in zoos for the amusement of humans!
And yes, even if it is at the cost of a low chance of their survival in the changing nature due to human actions/natural changes.
And no, dogs and cats in residences or farm animals on a farm are not equivalent to an animal in a zoo because they depend on a person.
