On December 5, 2006, a polar bear cub was born at Zoo Berlin in Germany. His mother wasn't able to take care of him, and a keeper named Thomas became his foster father. The cub was named Knut and Thomas slept by his side and fed him every two hours around the clock for months until Knut was able to eat on his own. Knut became a worldwide celebrity and inspired people to learn more about wild polar bears and how to help them.
