Polar Bear Knut on CNN and Prosieben - Eisbär Knut

German:
Ausschnitte von den Nachrichten auf CNN und Prosieben vom 23.03.2007 über Knut, dem Eisbärjungen aus dem Zoo Berlin.

Neuerung: Knut verstarb am 19.03.2011 im Alter von nur 4 Jahren. Augenscheinlich erlitt er einen Anfall und stürzte ins Wasser wo er später reglos umhertreibend gefunden wurde.
Die Obduktion ergab, dass sich Wasser in den Lungen sammelte, Knut also nach dem Sturz ins Wasser letzlich durch Ertrinken verstarb. Der Sturz selber soll auf einen Anfall als Folge einer Enzephalitis zurückzuführen sein. Ich berufe mich dabei unter anderem auch auf Informationen aus Wikipedia.


English:
Cuts from the news clips from CNN and Prosieben on the 23rd of march 2007 about Knut, the polar bear cub from the Zoo Berlin.

Update: Knut died at the age of four on the afternoon of 19 March 2011. Wikipedia says:
"On 19 March 2011, Knut collapsed in his enclosure at the Berlin Zoo and died. Witnesses reported that the after the bear's left leg began shaking, he walked around in circles before falling into the water. The cause of death has yet to be determined.[...]"
An autopsy was performed on the body on mondays. The current results after 22. of march tell from water in the lungs. Drowning was the actual cause of death. The fall into the water seems to be the result of a seizure caused by Encephalitis. I am currently watching Wikipedia for further notes.

Additional:
One of the main reasons for those people to say that Knut should not have been kept alive is, that such an animal tends to become mentaly sick when handraised by humans and that they later won't be able to put him to other polar bears to live and mate there. Mental sickness also was pretty much the reason why last year they shot the wild bear "Bruno".

The public was angry and sad about this action. Once again there have not been enough discussions by experts to find out what is wrong and what is right.
