Caption this photo - "Carnivore Knut"

My translation from German: Knut snaps at a boy. But he once was so cute.

"He once was the most famous icebear baby of the world - our cute cuddle Knut. Now this shock photo: Knut, now 14 month old and weighing 140 kilos, snaps with exposed fangs after a boy aged 3. Fortunately a 4cm thick glass window seperates human and bear."

The article goes on to interview Knut's doctor who says: He (Knut) is a carnivore and it would not be surprising if he would bite.

They need to figure out a way to keep ‘em small. He was just too cute.

Knut is a Liberal, no doubt about it. Born innocent and cuddly and grows up to be a “get in my way and I’ll eat you” person.

Knut was a carnivore since day 1.

What!!! You mean carnivores that attack for food were cute once?

Heck, even Hillary was probably cute at least ONCE in her cub stage.

Whenever I try to pronounce “Carnivore Knut” it comes out sounding like Jane Fonda on the Today Show.

Wasn’t there some concern that the bear, being raised by humans, would lose his natural instincts? Doesn’t the second photo show that he has retained at least some of them?

I handle livestock every day and I’d have to say that if he’s displaying the polar bear’s natural instincts as a predator, the handling he received was in some degree successful. He’s behind plexiglass; the little boy was perfectly safe and learned a valuable lesson about “our animal friends.” (as long as they don’t send Knut to the San Francisco Zoo...)

He should’ve been clubbed when he was small and made into a fur coat. Now, if they wanna do that, they’ll have to put a hole in his hide.

That Evolution is hilarious! Hope he lives a long life before getting to that (faux) fur rug stage!

In a moment of self-doubt,
Knut snapped when the kid
made this face at him...

...Knut later apologized.
