“Eisbärenfreunde sind nur an den niedlichen Eisbärbabies interessiert. Wenn sie erwachsen werden, sind sie vergessen”. Das ist eine  weitverbreitete  Meinung, die natürlich NICHT der Wahrheit entspricht. Das öffentliche Interesse an Eisbären ist sehr groß – und konzentriert sich auch nicht nur auf die Eisbärkinder**.
According to public opinion the majority of [...]

Dear Friends!
It’s time again for the Olympic Games – I mean the Knulympic Games 2010. As you all know I’m very interested in winter sports but I’m also a very innovative bear so I’ve got lots of suggestions to make these games more fun for the competitors and the public.

Dieser herrliche Winter wird wohl der letzte für Flocke und Rasputin in Franken sein. Das war für Knut  Anlass genug, seinen besten Freunden diesen Leitartikel zu widmen.
This beautiful winter would be the last winter season for Flocke and Rasputin in Franconia. For this reason Knuti dedicated his leading article [...]

Today is a very special day – it was exactly two years ago Knutitours started the magical tour with you! Since Mervi always tells me she’s ‘a daughter of white wilderness’ I thought some lovely winter photos of La Donna and me would be very suitable for this lead. [...]

17.1.2010 – Photos and videos by Monika
Hello friends! This time I’m going to tell you about our wrestling sessions. La Donna often thinks she’s a female Hulk Hogan and challenges me. I may have mentioned before that I’m a very clever bear but it deserves to be said once again. After reading what I have [...]

Today is my first monthly birthday in the year 2010 and I’m so glad I can take a nap lying in the snow. While I’m resting I’m doing a lot of thinking, too…..

Because our editor in chief comes from Finland I wanted to say ‘Merry Christmas’ in Finnish. You must admit I’m a very nice, thoughtful bear but of course, you already knew that! There’s a good chance we’re having a white Christmas in Bärlin this year – please, keep your fingers crossed. That would [...]

There have been so many birthday parties that I almost forgot to make plans for Christmas. I’ve been trying to convince La Donna that we must start decorating our enclosure. We need, of course, a Christmas tree, candles and flowers – especially mistle toes, hihiii….
