Little Knut is crying for his "dad"

Poor sweetie. I know it must be a hard adjustment. But, it's good that it's happening before he gets much older, you know? Wish I was there. I'd carefully give him a bear hug

It'll be hard to adjust for both Knut and his keeper.

Kudos to the keeper for raising little Knut!

I think this is one of the consequences of being raised in a Zoo setting
rather than something like an animal reserve. Being raised by humans puts
the animal at a great disadvantage for later life with his own kind. Animal
reserves can safely raise & return animals back into a relationship gradually.
They've done it for years with great success. I hope Knut gets along fine.
