Knut is an Arctic polar bear that was abandoned at birth along with his twin brother. The zoo took him in and raised him. Sadly his brother did not survive for long. Knut became one year old. The zoo celebrated by baking a giant cake to sell to the crowd and let children enter the zoo free. Knut was more entertained with the toy candle than the crowd of children. In the picture he looks brown, he is actually white, he is just very dirty.
It is a good thing that the zoo took him in. To think that animal rights activists wanted to sue the zoo for keeping him. They wanted him in the wild even if he died. Today polar bears are becoming extinct because ice caps are being melted down. The polar bears have no ground to rest on so they have to keep swimming in the ocean looking for steady ice. Unfortunately they do not always find land and drown.
