Behbeh polar bear saved from getting chomped

This lil' "Knut Dos" is going to be hand-reared in the Nuremberg Zoo after it was feared Momma might chomp on him. [sad head tilt]

Check out the movie here.

Oh My Deer, nice submeeshons.

Apparently his sibling already did get chomped..by another bear, not Mom...sigh. Hope there isn't all the controversy about whether or not he should have been rescued, like with Knut.: Fliss; | Jan 10, 2008 at 11:20 PM

Actually, another polar bear mother at the same zoo, chomped her two babies. And one or two days later, when this mother started restlessly dragging and kicking her baby around at the outside area (obviously she didn't accept the room they offered her to raise the baby and didn't know where to go hiding and got more and more stressed) they decided they won't take the risk and separated mother and baby and now hand rear the baby. The mother misses the baby and was searching for it, she was a good mother and raised it well in the first couple of months. Only there was no place that she felt safe or good enough for her and her baby to go.: Claudie; | Jan 10, 2008 at 11:45 PM

Cute bebeh bear, but saddddd captions =( It's painful to think that mom on child violence is naturally unnatural, if that makes any sense.: lurkingsmirk; | Jan 11, 2008 at 12:00 AM

love baby nom nom noming up the milk.: Hon Glad; | Jan 11, 2008 at 01:19 AM

It is sad that a momma polar bear would kill its own. At the Toledo zoo this past year three polar bear cubs were born. At last report they were still doing well. By the way I went through cute withdrawal when visiting cousins in Texas over the holidays._Woods Walker: Woods Walker; | Jan 11, 2008 at 01:20 AM

Wow...cute and sad....I want to bundle the baby up in a warm fluffy blanket & snorgle it until it's possible it could cause me damage...hope it does well.: Lucy's mommeh; | Jan 11, 2008 at 03:44 AM

What's really sad is that some animal activists think it's "degrading" that Knut's being hand-raised and bottle-fed, and they're demanding that he be killed. What happened to sanctity of life?: Water; | Jan 11, 2008 at 05:13 AM

Oh, I hoped that this prosh bebeh polar beario would be on CO! Adorable.: Yitzysmommie; | Jan 11, 2008 at 06:29 AM

ACK!! The video is beyond cute! The squealing, the legs! I NEED to snorgle this guy.: Yitzysmommie; | Jan 11, 2008 at 06:31 AM

Shouldn't that be "Knut Zwei"?: joe; | Jan 11, 2008 at 06:35 AM

OMG! The only way she could be any cuter is if she sprouted bunny ears. I want to zzzrrrbrrrrt that belly!: TamaraRose; | Jan 11, 2008 at 06:50 AM

OMG, are you kidding me? If I don't get one of these stat, I will die. Die, I tell you! *races to Toys R Us*: Momof2kitties; | Jan 11, 2008 at 06:55 AM

The stretch-and-yawn at the end is too much! I'm done for.: SA; | Jan 11, 2008 at 07:05 AM

I saw the way his mother let him fell out of his mouth? That was so sad to see...: Holy Cuteness; | Jan 11, 2008 at 07:20 AM

Aww she is so precious... poor little one and the poor Mamma Bear....: Annie; | Jan 11, 2008 at 08:53 AM

Aww, how adorable. I think I'd probably end up chomping its tiny ears if I spent more than 5 minutes with it... it looks so much like a teddy bear!: Captain Cabinets; | Jan 11, 2008 at 09:46 AM

OMG. I wanna wrap it in blankets and snorgle it. And the snoring sounds at the end of the video? ::dies::: miltonvcat; | Jan 11, 2008 at 09:51 AM

Did anyone else watch the video and think he sounded like he was constantly farting? No? Ok, just me, then. I know, I'm gross. Eww.: stubbedoo; | Jan 11, 2008 at 11:01 AM

Obviously the mother bears are so stressed out in captivity that they resort to eating their young... shouldn't this make people think about the cruelty of zoos and get busy preserving the animals' habitat (including cooler tenperatures worldwide in this case)? the cub is adorable, but definitely sad in that he embodies all these politics.: Sandra K.; | Jan 11, 2008 at 11:03 AM

i wonder why moms do this sometimes. do they feel insecure raising babies in their environs, or is there something physically 'wrong' about the babies that only the mom can sense. it's sad to us but there must be a nature reason for it. mothers of other species do it too. some things we just don't know! anyways, look at that pot belly! sweet bebeh bear.: jen; | Jan 11, 2008 at 11:17 AM

Chubby! belly!: A thinker; | Jan 11, 2008 at 11:44 AM

This sweet bebeh made all the way to the front page of cnn.com! I was hoping he'd make it here too! I love those hands that come down from heaven as soon as he starts crying - to scoop him up and give him milkinks! nahm, nahm, nahm...: TurboFloof; | Jan 11, 2008 at 12:19 PM

I was just about to send this in! Drats - foiled again! But bebeh polar bearzitude!!! Eeee AND squeeee!: Lizzy; | Jan 11, 2008 at 12:46 PM

Awww, gotta love that paws up/yawning action at the end of the video.: CheshireCat; | Jan 11, 2008 at 02:29 PM

typically when moms do that it is because there is something wrong with the babies even though to us physically it may not appear so. he's cute but PETA will turn the situation into another media circus i'm sure: spongebrooke; | Jan 11, 2008 at 03:28 PM

and i just wanted to add that moms in the wild do this as well. people think zoos are cruel but often do not stop and think of what the infant mortality rate is in the wild. it is 50% in some cases.: spongebrooke; | Jan 11, 2008 at 03:31 PM

Lots of animals can kill/eat/reabsorb (that last one I saw on an Animal Planet episode and was creeped out for a week. REABSORB!) their young, either out of rejection (for whatever reason) or stress due to a predator or danger. It's more common than we'd think, yet many animals in captivity bear and rear their young without a problem.: Sheenanana; | Jan 12, 2008 at 08:24 AM

It's actually the Nuernberger Zoo and yes, it should be "Knut Zwei" - and he is adorable: Aditu; | Jan 12, 2008 at 10:02 AM

Po' bebbeh beoi. I will hug her an' cuddle her an' make her feeoiw all safe and snuggley!: Zee; | Jan 12, 2008 at 02:11 PM

Should be Do(s) Knut, eh? The powdered sugar kind. Also, the zoo's must do all they can to make the location as accomodating as possible so the bears feel totally at home. Otherwise, why have them at all? I can't go to zoos anymore anyway. Too sad. I'd rather watch them on TV in their natural habitat and pay money to preserve that than support the zoos.: junglegirl; | Jan 12, 2008 at 07:17 PM

Ahh. Watched the video that's linked. For those of you who can't view it, here's a rundown on the important bits: PAWS - up TONGUE - out BABY BEAR - tiredy and fallin' asleep So cuh yoot!: nakey; | Jan 12, 2008 at 08:25 PM
