World Famous polar bear Knut suddenly dies @ age 4

BERLIN – Berlin's beloved polar bear Knut, who rose to international stardom as a cuddly cub hand-raised by zookeepers, died suddenly on Saturday, a zoo official said.

Probably the most famous wild life creature of all time suddenly died today at the famous Berlin Zoo. Knut was only 4 years old when he died and was truly a human at heart. He had been raised by humans since the day he was born.

The polar bear rose to global fame after he was rejected by his mother when he was born in captivity on December 5, 2006. The fluffy cub was shown to the public 15 weeks later, and attendance at the zoo has roughly doubled since, officials said.
