Cute Knut the German Polar Bear Cub

This is just something too cute to pass up. All you animal lovers, catch a glimpse of something that's just as cute as a Panda cub. It's a polar bear cub born in captivity in Germany. He and his brother were abandoned by their mother after birth so a zoo keeper decided to step in and raise him instead of letting him die like his brother.

Polar Bear Cub Explores the Outside World Knut the tiny polar bear cub has won the hearts and minds of Berliners. Now Berlin Zoo's most famous resident is venturing outside. Since his birth, Knut has become a superstar in his native city. He's been featured in the newspapers -- Berlin daily Der Tagesspiegel has a regular column and Web site devoted to him -- the city's ice hockey team, the Eisbären (Polar Bears), want to adopt him as a mascot, and even Berlin's popular mayor, Klaus Wowereit, is reported to be a fan.

Here's some very cute video of the little guy:

In the news today, Knut is 15 weeks old now and is big enough to make his first public appearance.

BTW, a lot has been made about the calls to euthanize Knut. It was only one guy, one "activist" who has since been given a royal smackdown by everyone including other animal rights activists.
