Unhappy Knut the polar bear

They found his cause of death. How sad that he drowned in his enclosure, because of swelling on his brain.

German Polar Bear Knut

Quote:
The Berlin zoo's celebrity polar bear, Knut, drowned after swelling of his brain caused him to collapse and fall into his enclosure's pool, experts said Friday

A necropsy of the four-year-old bear who died suddenly two weeks ago showed he was suffering from encephalitis, an irritation and swelling of the brain that was likely brought on by an infection

No problem. I've been keeping up with that story, it's such a sad turn of events from the way things were going for him. Poor baby.

We had two polar bears here at the Tulsa zoo that died. It was pretty sad because they were one of the zoos main attractions.

Very sad. I saw the footage of the seizure before he fell in the water and thought he drowned. Very sad. I do wonder what caused the seizure. It was obvious the way he was circling that something was wrong.
