Intruder jumps into Knut the polar bear's cage

A man jumped into the Berlin zoo enclosure of famed polar bear Knut this
morning, police say, but officials were able to keep him away from the
animal.

The 30-year-old jumped over a fence into a water-filled ditch at the edge of
the enclosure. Zoo officials managed to distract two-year-old Knut and lured
him into his cage.

Officers later led the man away unharmed. Police said the intruder told them
that he felt lonely and that Knut also appeared to be lonely. The man did
not give the impression of being mentally disturbed, police said.

Knut was hand-reared after his mother rejected him at birth. He rose to fame
early last year as a cute little white ball of fluff, but has since grown
rapidly into a 440lb (200kg) predator.

Zookeepers have become increasingly worried about the bear's psychological
health - the rejection by his mother and human hand-rearing have left him
addicted to human laughter and applause.

One keeper said Knut had become so used to attention that he cried when no
one was near his enclosure.

Thomas Dorflein, the keeper who reared Knut, was found dead in his Berlin
flat in September..."
