Knutmania!

It was an irony that the bear who had been abandoned by his mother to die was having his birthday celebrated all across the nation. In December 2007, Knut became one year old. His birthday was celebrated with a big cake made of boiled rice, raisins and bananas. The cake was decorated with a wooden candle and there were a number of his fans from all over the world who clapped and sang the birthday song for him. On the day the visitors gifted a big birthday cake too that was made of 30lbs of sugar and flour and 300 eggs. His keeper had also decided on his to gift Knut. He explained, “My birthday wish for Knut is that he is happily transferred to another zoo – in a big compound with a female partner.”
