This bear may have been lonely and sad, but that deffo did not kill him. Loneliness does not make you start walking in circles shaking and losing control of your limbs before having massive convulsions, fitting, falling over and drowning. This bear's brain was genuinely ill, either from virus, infection or disorder. He would have died wether in captivity or in the wild, it's just unfortunate he didnt have any known fits or convulsions to trigger alarm bells before the one that killed him.
Somehow, I got quite pissed at what the activist said...
first, they had blamed the zoo for hand-raising the baby polar bear when it got rejected by it's mum. stating things like they should not be kept in captive... do they want it to die?...
later, when the the star died, they blame it on the zoo again... what's going on with wanting to CONSERVE the animals, and yet at the same time not allowing captivity which MIGHT allows them higher chance of survival
if he was raised by humans, surrounded by them from when he was a baby, of course he'd miss them in some way. they're like parents to him. of course he'd go mad ):
No matter how many times I watch this I can't help but feel profound saddness at the thought of these beautiful animals being captive for 30 years. At least Knut is free now.
@moletfrog12 He had a brain infection, and it caused him to lose control of his body. He fell into the water and he drowned. They say that the brain infection itself would have caused his death sooner or later.
@tigawv i bet peta was not nearly as zealous to report the real cause of death and eat crow on that bullshit confinement induced madness slanderous assholes
Seriously? all this shit because of a polar bear, probably hundreds of polar bears and other animals die every year and no one fucking cares, why the fucking are this people crying about it? oh and if you think he was lonely why woulndt you go play with him? so he can fuck you up with those freaking huge claws!
@tylerjoan1 And i bet you even go to the south or north pole to help them right? you can care wtf you want but if you dont do shit you might aswell shut up...
@ptsoldier mmmh,ARE U SO STUPID to not understand that if a dog that i've seen a lot of times dies i might feel a bit sad?it doesn't matter if thousands of dogs die every year.do u know the meaning of affection?u probably don't....idiot
@geiuy lol do you search for old comments to call people stupid? Thats answer was just stupid i know what affection means and thats why I do not care if you die or not :)
The Death of any polar bear is sad. Specially at only 4 years old. I wish my videos at the Detroit Zoo's polar bear exhibit had a beautiful bear like Knut as an edition to the beautiful bears they already have.
its better for him that he is dead his life was very sad that is the reason why i never visit him i dont like the zoo in berlin i like the animal park in berlin its much better than the zoo ^^
Man this is one of the saddest things I've ever seen. You can tell in a lot of this footage he just wants to interact with the people that are around him. Just the thought that he might have died of loneliness in a sense is heart-breaking.
@jarjarbanks22 I'm agree with you, he seemd like he wanted to interact with others, wanted to play with them instead there was a glass wall and he was alone, poor young bear :'(
Wacko, frog-kissing, selfish, agenda-pushing, attention-starved, turkey-huggers P.E.T.A. Here in Knut's death, they discover yet another excuse for putting their deceptive, ignorant, mean and rude false theorys & beliefs on their handmade pedestal, insisting that they are right, and everyone else is just DEAD WRONG.
Whoops PETA, turns out it was a virus that caused a seizure, not some silliness about being driven insane by being confined...typical PETA B.S., geeze.
da zoo director bernhard blaszkiewitz is a fucking ashole he took the names of Knut + Thomas Dorflein in vain saying that knut was more a nussiance 2 da zoo because he said Knut turned the zoo into an amusement park + he instantly said that Dorfleins death was as a result of his heavy smoking + many girlfriends and that it was stupid to say he had died of a broken heart after being forced 2 seperate from Knut by blazkiewitz also that ashole is sending knut 2 da museum 2 be stuffed. RIP Knut
Thats so sad. Capitivity was driving him crazy.. hello the signs are his pawing and head nodding and he couldnt even be with humans? What a shame. His only owner has passed away too. What a shame.. I thought zoo's keep animals safe and healthy. Let them go obviously. RIP KNUT
@K1TKatGurl Since he died of encephalitis (brain inflammation due to an infection) it's hard to say if the swaying was part of it.Zoo keepers are usually zoologist, basically people that have the knowledge. However...it's a very hard topic cuz even if this bear couldn't bear captivity ,they couldn't let the bear die in the wild. I wanna believe the zoo keepers cared it's just that...how do can teach a wild polar bear to survive in the wild.Easier said than done. The only thing they could do is
Knut died from drowning due to encephalitis (inflammation of the brain), caused by an infection,. The infection was caused by a virus. Why this wasn't picked up by the keepers sooner makes question how reputable the Berlin Zoo really is. Now they are going to stuff his remains and put him on display at a museum. Poor, poor animal. A life behind glass, dying a long and painful death, and now his body is going to be stuffed for display! RIP Knut
what I think was with all the weird movements he was doing is he was trying to say or rather show that he is harmless and want out of captivity and spend time with people cuz he's used to and loved being around people freely and on camera when theres no people he just looks depressed and doesnt act like a polar bear in a zoo but when there are people he tries to get much attention. all that pressure in his mind including thinking what he did wrong to be caged lead to brain damage, I may be wrong
@winnlamp have u got an idea of how much it most cost to mantain utube?are u so stupid to not undertand that if there where no ads it wouldn't be free?stupid dumb kid
Sorry to direct this elsewhere, but my first girlfriend and I loved Knut. But all things must come to an end, whether good or bad. Knut=obviously good. My first relationship=you get the idea.
How's the stupid Dr. Debbye Turner Bell? She's a disgrace providing support yo the zoos. You unethical person. I say shut down all the zoos and protect all animals in the world.
It wasn't a mysterious death actually. Maybe to all the stupid, ignorant humans it was mysterious.
Knut died because it's caretaker that reared him up died a couple of years earlier and it got lonely like it had lost its mother. It also needed a lot larger area ato live.
Stupid humans always kill the beautiful things of this world.
damn PETA, he's not driven mad... several polar bears have spent over 8 years in captivity and they're fine...I believe he might just be a "special" bear thats why he was shunned... definitely aneurysm
@eg463665 he was rejected by his own mother at birth... that's an indicator that the mother sensed he was "different" I should know I've observed my hamster population out of the 4 litters my mother hamster had she had shunned about 3 I looked at them to see what was wrong and it turned out that they had limb deformities or they definitely had an internal affliction (respitory, heart, etc,) animals can definitely tell what's wrong with each other
The necropsy showed Knut officially died from drowning while having a seizure, but was the seizure was caused by encephalitis (swelling in the brain) secondary to an infection. The vets said that even if he hadn't fallen in the water he would not have survived.
I dont agree with the theory his mum knew there was something wrong from the start, in knut and friends the guy said its probably because of her troubled past working in a circus. Plus remember knut had a twin that she rejected, does this mean that he had a brain disorder as well?
@StayGoldHC Ive just read that the pathologists reckon he had the brain abnormality for weeks or even months, not from birth. In saying that if you look up encephalitis it has a load of preliminary symptoms and advanced symptoms, including siezures which knut must have and did suffer from, yet they're trying to say he showed no signs of being ill. I dont believe them for a minute.
@CUNTservativesRDung Is Dick Cheney also shown in Blijdorp Zoo at Rotterdam and if he is, must I look for him among the polar bears or is he a subject of Bokito, the alfa-gorilla?
He suddenly collapsed? There's a amateur video of his death and then you see he was turning a lot of times and everytime he walked more difficult, and then he fell. didn't they already noticed that there was something wrong before he fell?
@P3NIX You are either an idiot that likes trolling or a complete and utter retard. My guess is probably a mixture of the two. I hate when people leave stupid comments on videos.
@P3NIX No, no it's not moron and learn how to spell, I've seen 3 year olds that have better grammar than you. Go back to school and get educated before you try to talk again.
@P3NIX who are you to interpret the will of god?!
you are naught but a fool who simply begs for attention, at the offense of our divine lord in heaven.
may your soul burn in hell for this action, and may you die alone and afraid. you have blatantly insulted his name through this, may your life be plagued by misfortune and pain unparalleled.
Ave Domina
addendum-rest in peace poor Knut, may god look after your soul.
@P3NIX You are either an idiot that likes trolling or a complete and utter retard. My guess is probably a mixture of the two. I hate when people leave stupid comments on videos.
Poor Knut, that's sad that he died so young. RIP Knut.
Now we know why he died a brain disorder it had nothing to do with him living in a Zoo, of course these facts don't matter to groups like PETA who are actually the cause of more animal deaths. Remember Knut for the short life he lived touching millions around the world rather than how he died..
I can't believe those animal activists have the guts to blame the zoo for Knuts death. If it wasn't for the zoo, he would have died like his twin brother 4 years ago.
He DID have a convulsion, its an unavoidable fact!!
But it is possible that he could have hit his head VERY hard as he fell into the water. Because I think he would still be thrashing around a bit to save himself after he fell.
In the video, you see some splashes as he fell, but they died out within 3 sec. and there was no other movements from him. And thats when the zoo visitors KNEW something was wrong.
It looks like his death was brain related. His leg started twitching, his mouth was foaming, he started convulsing then he collapsed. If PETA people are saying it was due to mistreatment I say BS. Unless it was poisoning of some sort.

Unless it was poisoning of some sort. I wouldn't put it past PETA to poison one bear to help the others.
Were PETA prosecuted and convicted of that arson attack? Please post a link. Or is it just an ill informed piece of propoganda you are trying to spread?
I think he had a defect that humans can't see, probly a mental defect. It explains why his mom abandoned him to die & all 3 Female bears shunned him. Then he just mysteriously drowns while in good health. There are humans who look fine on the outside but have a screw loose in the head. It makes sense that some Bears are also born w/ brain defects.
@MeistroBlue There was a video that showed since his mother was violent towards him, he had to drag his hind leg to walk, then he got a spaz attack, (his head was contantly shaking), and he fell ino the water. :(
@MeistroBlue I think you might be wrong, I think the death of Knut died due to a bad case of heartbreak because of the death of his trainer. You might think it's crazy to think animals dying due to heartbreak but when an elephant finds a mate and it dies the widow sometimes won't eat and just won't stand up and it dies. Due to a bad case of heartbreak.
The water is absolutely filthy. The water in what would have been his natural environment was surely much cleaner than this. Perhaps it was an infection caused by the nasty conditions he lived in.
@incostirva Gone too late, actually... he should have died at birth as he was intended. Totally not meaning to sound that harsh but this is not what Nature intended.
The water looked dirty, and from the videos I've seen of him, his behaviour does not look normal. I think his mother sensed there was something wrong, animals can do that, I'd be interested to see what comes out of this after the necropsy.
Clearly, Knut had a seizure (as was evidenced by his circling), fell into the pool, and (tragically) died. He probably had undiagnosed epilepsy or a brain lesion. So, so sad.

I WATCHED this video . CLEARLY THE BEAR HAD WHAT IS CALLED A PARTIAL ABSENCE SEIZURE . THAT IS 100% CERTAIN TO ANYONE WHO HAS CARED FOR PEOPLE OR ANIMALS THAT HAVE SEIZURES
@sphatnik nor can i understand how doctors have not just watched this and seen it was a seizure. i wouldamyself jumped in that water if i saw that going on. sadly i was not there. one of the most odd thins on this matter is peta saying the bear went mad from being in the zoo. come on people
@mmoch No. If he had a stroke, he would have had weakness on one side of his body and not been able to move or hold himself up on one or both limbs. Head would have also been tilted to one side.
I'm going with the mad angle. He was raised around humans, and grew attached to them in such a way, that he became dependant on their proximity. So when he's thrown into a single exhibit of his own, without the interactivity of humans around him, the long term depression may have had a big effect on him physically.
Epilepsy might also be another plausable theory.......

@P3NIX who are you to interpret the will of god?!
you are naught but a fool who simply begs for attention, at the offense of our divine lord in heaven.
may your soul burn in hell for this action, and may you die alone and afraid. you have blatantly insulted his name through this, may your life be plagued by misfortune and pain unparalleled.

addendum-rest in peace poor Knut, may god look after your soul.

Oh yeah PETA can go Fuck themselves, because again he died of a brain disorder which explains his odd behavior.

Now we know why he died a brain disorder it had nothing to do with him living in a Zoo, of course these facts don't matter to groups like PETA who are actually the cause of more animal deaths. Remember Knut for the short life he lived touching millions around the world rather than how he died..

I can't believe those animal activists have the guts to blame the zoo for Knuts death. If it wasn't for the zoo, he would have died like his twin brother 4 years ago.
This is truly sad news.

From watching the video, Here is what I thought:
He DID have a convulsion, its an unavoidable fact!!
But it is possible that he could have hit his head VERY hard as he fell into the water. Because I think he would still be thrashing around a bit to save himself after he fell.
In the video, you see some splashes as he fell, but they died out within 3 sec. and there was no other movements from him. And thats when the zoo visitors KNEW something was wrong.
So I think its a combination...

It looks like his death was brain related. His leg started twitching, his mouth was foaming, he started convulsing then he collapsed. If PETA people are saying it was due to mistreatment I say BS. Unless it was poisoning of some sort.

Were PETA prosecuted and convicted of that arson attack? Please post a link. Or is it just an ill informed piece of propoganda you are trying to spread?

he had some type of seizure or stroke, fell into the water and drown. not because of mistreatment or abuse by the zoo.
KegHound86 11 months ago
I think he had a defect that humans can't see, probly a mental defect. It explains why his mom abandoned him to die & all 3 Female bears shunned him. Then he just mysteriously drowns while in good health. There are humans who look fine on the outside but have a screw loose in the head. It makes sense that some Bears are also born w/ brain defects.

@MeistroBlue I think you might be wrong, I think the death of Knut died due to a bad case of heartbreak because of the death of his trainer. You might think it's crazy to think animals dying due to heartbreak but when an elephant finds a mate and it dies the widow sometimes won't eat and just won't stand up and it dies. Due to a bad case of heartbreak.

The water is absolutely filthy. The water in what would have been his natural environment was surely much cleaner than this. Perhaps it was an infection caused by the nasty conditions he lived in.

@incostirva Gone too late, actually... he should have died at birth as he was intended. Totally not meaning to sound that harsh but this is not what Nature intended.
hollybee43 11 months ago
The water looked dirty, and from the videos I've seen of him, his behaviour does not look normal. I think his mother sensed there was something wrong, animals can do that, I'd be interested to see what comes out of this after the necropsy.

Clearly, Knut had a seizure (as was evidenced by his circling), fell into the pool, and (tragically) died. He probably had undiagnosed epilepsy or a brain lesion. So, so sad.

@mmoch No. If he had a stroke, he would have had weakness on one side of his body and not been able to move or hold himself up on one or both limbs. Head would have also been tilted to one side.

I'm going with the mad angle. He was raised around humans, and grew attached to them in such a way, that he became dependant on their proximity. So when he's thrown into a single exhibit of his own, without the interactivity of humans around him, the long term depression may have had a big effect on him physically.
Epilepsy might also be another plausable theory.......
