Knut: How One Little Polar Bear Captivated the World

Knut, a polar bear cub born at the Berlin Zoo, was rejected by his mother, a rescued East German circus bear, at birth. Knut, no bigger than a snowball, was unable to care for himself and would have died if not for Thomas Dorflein, a dedicated zookeeper. Dorflein nurtured Knut, feeding him, sleeping with him, and providing the love and attention he needed to thrive. Knut's struggle for survival and his adorable antics quickly captured the world's attention, making him a beloved figure globally.
