8. Knut hat Ausgang (Knut gets out and about)

Von: http://www.rbb- online.de/_/fernsehen/index_jsp/activeid=3609.html

(English: It's hard to hold him back now. In such lovely weather its best to run around in the open air. When his foster father hurries up, he happily follows. He is getting stronger after all

How could something like this be so difficult for him? Feeding is one of his easiest exercises. He savours the meat/milk mixture. And his when there are constantly refills, the cute little bear is delighted

And after eating, it's time to hang out. Knut now has his own hammock. Foster-dad Dörflein gave it to him.
He is happy to find the view out of his tree house. The first real estate. But even better is his fight with sand

These scenes regularly end, how else but with a bath. And here Knut tries having a look underwater more often. Knut the water rat. From diver to fighter. He has a new playroom and here he can measure himself against a grizzly bear

It is just a teddy but it is good for biting. There are slso new (live) playmates too. The uncles are the foster-dad's colleagues and the room is their lounge. A kindergarten in a class of its own. One child, two minders. He likes exploring the most. Always looking for newspapers)

A polor bear in the press. Papers are not just there to read. After all that playing around, out of the blue, his uncles see Knut fast asleep. Playing sure is exhausting, even for a polar bear)

Und da ist ist er kaum zu halten. Bei so schönem Wetter tobt sichs am Besten im Freien rum. Wenn sein Ziehvater Tempo macht, zieht er locker mit. Schließlich wird er immer kräftiger.

Wie könnte ihm so etwas auch schwer fallen? Futtern ist eine seiner leichtesten Übungen. Da läßt er sich die fleischhaltige Milch auf der Zunge zergehen. Und wenn es ständig Nachschlag gibt, freut es das Bärenherz.

Und nach dem Essen heißt es Abhängen. Knut hat dafür eine eigene Hängematte. Ziehpapa Dörflein hat ihm die angebracht.
Lieb gewonnen hat er den Ausblick aus seinem neuen Baumhaus. Die erste eigene Immobilie. Aber noch besser ist der Kampf mit dem Sand.

Solche Schmuddelszenen enden, wie soll es anders sein regelmäßig in der Badewanne. Und dabei wagt Knut immer öfter einen Blick auch unter Wasser. Knut als Wasserratte. Vom Taucher wird Knut zum Kämpfer. Er hat ein neues Spielzimmer und hier kann er sich mit einem Grizzlibären messen.

Der ist zwar nur aus Stoff, aber dafür läßt er sich auch beißen. Neue lebendige Kumpane gibts hier auch noch. Die Onkels sind die Kollegen vom Ziehpapa, das Zimmer ihr Aufenthaltsraum. Ein Kindergarten der Extraklasse. Ein Kind zwei Pfleger. Am liebsten geht er auf Erkundungsgang. Immer auf der Suche nach Zeitungen

Ein Eisbär im Blätterwald. Zeitungen sind eben nicht nur zum Lesen da. Nach all dem Toben sehen seine Onkels dann wie aus heiterem Himmel einen ganz verschlafenen Knut. Toben ist eben anstrengend, auch für einen Eisbären.

It's good humans can raise animals that otherwise wouldn't have had a chance. And it shows that we're not so different as animals and all animals should be respected for living beings and not as products of trade.

@yesibeleza well, his mom abandoned him on a rock and left him to die, so under the circumstances I think it's okay that they took him in and saved his life. obviously it's horrible that humans destroy their habitats and there should certainly be a limit to keeping animals in captivity, but in some cases, endangered species have only been saved from extinction by captivity/captive breeding.

Love it how it squeels when its getting lifted into the tub for a a bath. He's all like "nuuuuu!! Lemme guu!!" D8

it's very sad that humans destroy animal's habitats and then keep them in captivity...evey animal has the right to live in the wild where they belong. We humans should stop thinking the world is just ours.
