BERLIN (AP) -- With a sniff and a stumble, Berlin Zoo's irresistibly cuddly baby polar bear made his public debut Friday, delighting hundreds of excited children who packed around the pen's railings. ''We want Knut! We want Knut!'' chanted a group of third graders who came to see the zoo's star, dubbed ''cute Knut'' by the German media.

Oh I saw video of the cub on the TV news and he is soooooo cuuuuute. So I found this on youtube. He's adorable and if he didn't grow up to be a bear I would love to have him as a pet.

I think one of the videos is the same as Sleepy's.

On the subject, aren't these animal rights people whacko? They would prefer the cub dies. Almost as nuts as the environmental whackos.

Please do not generalize and label "animal rights people" as "whacko". There are many different types of people out there who consider themselves animal rights activists and have different beliefs. PETA is an animal rights group that is completely against killing Knut, and I know many individuals who are animal rights people who are against it as well and dont consider that man to be an animal rights person at all.

Oh I'm sorry drama. I should not have called them that. I regularly support The Humane Society and several other animal welfare (I'm purposely not saying rights because I do think that goes too far) organizations.
