Knut the polar bear to be stuffed, displayed at Berlin museum

BERLIN -- Knut, the world's best known polar bear, is to be stuffed and put on display in a Berlin museum, allowing fans a chance to say their farewells to the animal.

The news came Tuesday as a team of veterinarians tried to define the cause of the four-year-old bear's death. Three vets took part in the examination of the 300kg (661lb) animal, and were accompanied by a taxidermist to ensure that Knut's fur was not damaged in the process.

The stuffed polar bear will be placed in the Berlin Natural History museum, close to the world's largest dinosaur skeleton, The Times of London reported.
