I can never get through this without using hand puppets, Melanie H.
(a little musical accompaniment, if you please …)
Tall and brown and young and furry
the bear from Ipanema goes walking
and when she passes each bear she passes goes "aaah"
In the sea, he’s always waiting
He’d gladly give up hibernating
for when she passes each bear she passes goes "aaah"
Ohhhhhh, but he watches so sadly

I know we’re a few days into ‘Tocktober already, but we’ve finally got a good specimen for you. In fact, Sender-Inner Esther L. points out this photo would be EXCELLENT to show again as we transition into Nosevember. I’ll remember that.

According to AP Reports and CBS News, the zookeeper who hand-reared Knut the abandoned polar bear has passed away. No cause of death has been revealed. From the story:
"With his burly build, beard and ponytail, Doerflein was a distinctivefigure at the side of the growing bear. He nursed young Knut in hisarms behind closed doors and wrestled with him after the bear grew oldenough to play.
When Knut made his public debut in March 2007, Doerflein was at hisside. They started a daily performance for the thousands of visitorswho flocked to see the bear at his outdoor enclosure."
Barooooooooooooooooo! [Bear crying sound]
Let’s take a look at Thomas Dorflein’s legacy in one of the BEST Knut vids ever…
Bummer.
This poor little Red Panda, a resident of the Smithsonian National Zoo, seems to have picked up the economic woes facing the country.
So sad. He needs to have all the love and positive energy of the Cute Overload community channeled his direct-shons!
Or maybe just a nap.
