They're cute when they're little. But....
The world's most famous polar bear is to be banished from Berlin zoo because of lack of cash – the first ursine victim of the credit crunch.
Knut the polar bear, who now weighs 210kg, turns two on Friday. But Berlin zoo will not be holding a party for its famous inmate, who has lived there since birth, announcing plans for his imminent eviction instead.
'He should go sooner rather than later,' Heiner Klös, the chief bear keeper, said. 'Knut must finally find a new home.' He is set to leave by early 2010.
More than 21,000 Berliners have signed a petition demanding that Knut be allowed to remain.
