A video has come out of Knut the polar bear from Germany's last moments. They are preforming a necropsy on him but the cause of death will be interesting. He obviously drowned but before he fell into the water, he exhibited typical seizure behavior.

Warning : Video may be graphic to some viewers.

The Berlin zoo says a test performed on celebrity polar bear Knut indicate that "significant changes" in the animal's brain led to his sudden death last weekend.

May cat Target did the same thing before he died. He was old and it was his time but it's hard to watch when it's a thing you love. Knut was still a youngster. This will give animal activists something to bitch about. However if they recall, Knut was rejected by his mother, maybe animals instinctively know when something is wrong with an offspring and that is why they are rejected.
