    I'm so out of the loop...the video is precious...I love the music...but, is Knut still a baby? Or is he full grown now?

    Oh, I see...he's almost exactly a year old. What a great video.

    No, he's not a year old, he's 4 and a half months old; he was born in December 2006.

    He's certainly growing every day and may be a little bigger than in some of the photos/videos, but he's still a little cub - and no doubt that he's still sooooo cute!

    This page (of the German magazin "Der Spiegel") always has the latest Knut infos (English language):

    Ah, the video on youtube had something saying he was born in may of 2006. hmmm, maybe i was looking at the wrong thing.

    Nope, just looked again...whoever posted the information on youtube must have the wrong information.

    yes, someone must have posted the wrong info. Just read some Knut articles and learnt that he was born on December 5, 2006, so he's almost 5 months now.

    Yeah, i just read that, too. He's cute, but the video was a little odd...the photos of him look old, and then there are so many photos of larger bears, and only a few are labelled "family", so it's kinda hard to tell if that's him as a baby and then older...unless you know the story. And, I'd never heard of Knut before reading this thread. Baby animals are so cute.

    The video obviously is one of these semi-illegal things- the guy put together whatever he could get- but yes Knut exists, he's not grown up and he's out and about for like 4 weeks now and everyone in Germany wants to see him.
    While I think it would be fun to have him as a honorary member I think he will get lots of mail.
    But if you want to do it I'm in!
