I know I already blogged about Knut the baby polar bear, but there's more. He has a blog. It's in German, and it's first person, and he signs posts with things like, "Eurer Knuti!" (Your Knuty!) And there's video on the blog. Video. Of the world's most adorable little polar bear.
Perhaps you missed Knut's appearance on German news? Well, miss no more. So you can say, with Stephen Colbert, OHHHH HIS EYES LOOK LIKE LITTLE BUTTONS.

I saw a movie on youtube this morning about Knut and I just squealed and squealed. I was reading some interesting stuff online - that some animal rights activists want Knut shot because to bottle feed him is inhumane treatment - it's a lively and fascinating debate. What do you think of it? I figure it was probably wrong to rescue him, but now that they have, it would be horrible to kill him. But I do wonder what he'll be like when he's a full-sized bear! Will have have lots of trouble adjusting to life? Or is he just going to live in the zoo anyway, so who cares?
And what's this about Knut's mom rejecting him - why do polar bears reject their young?
Eh, I think the whole animal-rights-activist thing was bullhooey. It was one dude, he just said they should've let him die (not euthanize him, just neglect him). I think the cable news has just been using the whole blown-up story as an excuse to run polar bear video. I think, he's just in a zoo, people, it's already not a natural life, so shut up.
I think it's not that unusual for zoo animals to fail to figure out they're supposed to take care of that whiny little thing. (Who knows, it might happen in the wild too? I have no idea.)
oh knut, i just want to squiiiiiiiiish you!
doctor's appointment ended up taking forrrreeevveeerrrrrr, so i didn't get to blog about him like i wanted. and now i've actually got [gasp] work do to . . . maybe later. oh wait! later is contra dancing. are you on for contra dancing? :)
Nope, I'm Norwegian dancing tonight. (Grumble grumble everyone's going contra dancing on the night I sent out a message about Norwegian dancing grumble grumble.)
I think one of the main reasons zoo animals abandon their young is because they are all addicted to crystal meth...
