Cute Knut Update: No More Croissants

"One day you're on the cover of Vanity Fair, the next its Weight Watchers Magazine," says Deutsche Welle, in announcing that Berlin's Polar Bear sensation, Knut, has been put on a diet. No more croissants for Knut, and I'm not kidding that the bear, just six months old, actually was having a few of those. Even worse, Knut was nibbling between meals. Besides giving up snacking and French pastries, Knut will have his meals reduced to three a day rather than the four he had been eating.

No, that isn't Knut, pictured above, its another bear at the Berlin Zoo enjoying some water. Since Knut is a favorite, we thought he might be sensitive to a photo at the moment, but you can see one here.
