Berlin Zoo's polar bear superstar Knut is so lonely that he has been deliberately limping to get attention, says his keeper Thomas Dörflein, who knows the shaggy cub better than anyone. The ruse is working: Visitors have been cooing over him and fans have been writing in from as far away as Brazil and Hawaii.
Dörflein said he had spotted Knut trotting around quite normally the previous morning when he thought he wasn't being watched. Zoo vets have x-rayed Knut's paw and found no broken bones.

They prescribed a painkiller to be mixed in with his meals in case he had just sprained it.
