Knut Gets Eviction Notice
More bad news for Knut. The credit crunch is hitting everyone, including the world's most famous polar bear.The Berlin Zoo, birth place of the almost two year-old eco-celebrity, is having some financial problems. They will need over $10 million to keep Knut, along with a polar bear mate, in suitable surroundings. Berlin's financial difficulties and the global credit crunch are making it difficult for the zoo to keep up with the increased costs of taking care of him. He is set to be evicted by early 2010.
Berliners, understandably, want Knut to stay -- 21, 000 people have already signed a petition asking him to remain in Berlin. The city also stands to loose millions in Knut-related revenue. Fans of the celebrity bear (the only bear to get the cover of Vanity Fair) have rented out a site close to the zoo this Friday to celebrate his second birthday.
Knut's future home will most likely be in Gelsenkirchen, where Knut could hang out with Lara, a three-year-old female polar bear.
