Awww, look at the cute little guy who will grow up to be a maneating beast

[Ming]

Yep... really cute!

If you think this is cute, wait til he maims a visitor!

[Ming]

If a vistor is maimed, it will probably be because the vistor did something completely stupid and ignored all the safetly features set up to protect against just that happening

[Asher]

All the more adorable!

Meanwhile, Knut turned into a fat sadist:

Shock at polar bear's carp kill

Germany's celebrity polar bear Knut has triggered a new controversy by fishing out 10 live carp from his moat and killing them in front of visitors.

Critics say Berlin Zoo should not have put live fish inside Knut's enclosure. But German media report that the carp were put there to eat up algae.

There is speculation that hand-reared Knut killed the carp just for fun.

Germans are now looking forward to the public appearance of a new polar bear cub - Flocke - at Nuremberg Zoo.

Flocke will take her first public steps on Tuesday in front of the television cameras and photographers. She has also been hand-reared, because the zoo feared her mother might harm her.

The zoo has said it wants to avoid any repetition of "Knut mania". Knut was rejected by his mother, but Berlin Zoo decided to hand-rear him, in a controversial move.

There has been heated debate about whether cubs rejected by their mothers should be saved or whether nature should be allowed to run its course.

Knut is now more than a year old and has grown overweight.

The Frankfurter Allgemeine news website reports that Knut "senselessly murdered the carp", fishing them out, playing with them and then leaving the remains.

Well, it´s not Knut who is to blame if they are so stupid to leave such goodies for him and expect he would prefer his standard dish of non living food
