His mother knew.

Survival of the fittest? The Left is uncomfortable with the concept, unless it is discussed in the context of Evolution and why we-don't-need-God-anymore. But if the Left sees a cuddly polar bear, they rescue it because they like to set themselves up as God and rescue the baby animals that cruel nature has rejected.

I know this polar bear is not a dog, yet we treated him as if he were. Is this worthy of a doggie ping?

Shame, I didn't know he was a liberal.

Leftist?

It is one traits of man. As if the creature living for four years was a waste.

The left loves the idea of Intelligent Design when they use it.

I agree. I think the mother bear knew, and rejected the cub.

He's lucky. This could have been his fate.

He got four years of life, obviously not anything to sneeze at. Many species of healthy wild creatures often don’t live to four.

Brain problems. Brought on, of course, by global warming. All polar bears will suffer the same fate.

Here is video of his final moments. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=o9P_gUtZN-E

He is clearly uncomfortable before collapsing.

Ugh, that’s not pleasant to watch. Yeah, pretty obvious he was having a serious problem even before he went into convulsions.

Seems rather sudden for a brain disease. A cerebral hemmorhage causes sudden death but it is usually not called a disease.
