Thank you very much for this touching memory of KNUT on his 230th(?) monthly birthday on the 5th of February already.

Look at this ‘curly snow neck’ and it’s also a joy to see him play with the famous yellow egg*
( *feignedly said by the constructors to be undistructible ;.) 😉 ;_) )

LOVE IT!

Vielen Dank für die wunderschönen Fotos von Knut im Schnee. Danke auch an Frans, seine Fotos sind immer großartig.
Es sind zauberhafte Erinnerungen.

Ich wünsche euch ein schönes und erholsames Wochenende!

Dear Mervi Thank you for these pictures of Knut in the snow. He was not often white so these are interesting shots. The crazy egg was an early attempt at enrichment. Today zoos realise that such toys are vital to keep Polars occupied and happy. I wonder what Knut would have done with the kayaks and lakes in the UK parks. Flocke has been with us for a while now.

Wer könnte je die Geschichte mit Knuts crazy Egg vergessen, die France so wunderbar fotografiert hat? Wirklich eine bittersüsse und doch so zauberhafte Erinnerung an den glücklichen Bären im Schnee. Wie alle Spielsachen oder in seinem Gehege gefundene
Objekte konnte Knut stundenlang und selbstvergessen damit in allen Variationen spielen und hantieren und wir konnten uns nicht satt daran sehen!
Danke für diese zaubärhafte Erinnerung und dir Anke für die Ergänzung zu Birgit.
Britta-Gudrun

Thank you for republishing the gorgeous photos of Knut by Frans! They show impressively how loveabale and charming our bearboy was. One could just fell head over heels in love with him!
If I remember correctly, that Crazy Egg was a present from Birgit from Aurich(?) for his fourth birthday. Snow and ice were another great gift for his last birthday… Bittersweet memories!

Hugs
Anke
