"He first drew attention when caregiver, Thomas Doerflein, temporarily lived at the zoo to be able to give the cub his bottle every two hours. Knut made daily public appearances in which his caregivers cuddled and played with the cub to the pleasure of thousands of visitors. Around the world fan clubs formed, including in the United States, Japan, and Germany. Fans were interested in all aspects of his life, including his battle with gaining weight and plans to relocate to a different zoo." is unsourced.

Source:"Abandoned at birth on December 5, 2006, along with his twin brother, who only survived a couple of days, Knut first attracted attention when his main caregiver, Thomas Doerflein, camped out at the zoo to give the button-eyed cub his bottle every two hours. Doerflein cuddled and played with him at daily public appearances to the delight of thousands of people who came to watch." [1]
Source: "Fan clubs sprung up across the globe, including in Japan, the United States and Germany. Fans followed his every move, including his weight battle — he had a weakness for croissants — or plans to move to a different zoo." [2]

Note: I changed "caregivers" to "caregiver" to be more exact. Mattisse (talk) 10:07, 20 March 2011 (UTC)Reply
