Crazy for Knut
The baby polar bear at Berlin Zoo has captured our hearts.

A Knut to Cuddle
For those who just couldn't resist taking the little guy home with them, world famous toy producer Steiff even designed a teddy version of Knut.

He looks cuddly now, but he won't be allowed to play with his keepers for much longer.

Watch those teeth, Knut!
Nearly to Big to Cuddle
Knut's rapid growth made play time with keeper Thomas Dörflein more dangerous as time went on. The bear enjoyed fewer and fewer cuddle like this as his weight increased as his true bear-like nature came to the fore.

Knut's Favorite Toy
Baby bear Knut looks like he might have his eyes on a future career in toilet maintenance. But he's just playing around with one of his favorite toys. In a few months, when the little polar bar cub has a few more pounds on him along with some jaw strength and bigger teeth, he'll likely be eating this toilet brush instead of carrying it around.
Soccer Star
Germany's soccer World Cup may be over, but Knut seems to be quite fond of an original tournament ball. He's even forgetting about his favorite toilet brush.
