Apparently humans are not the only ones who suffer when fed artifical infant
milk. Can't say I'd want to harvest milk from a mama polar bear, however...

BERLIN - The Berlin Zoo's popular polar bear cub, Knut, is not feeling well
and had his daily public appearance in front of thousands of visitors cut
short Monday after only 30 minutes. 

The zoo's veterinarian, Andre Schuele, put the 4 1/2-month old cub on
antibiotics and said the Knut is "off stage to get some rest while we watch
him closely."

There was no specific diagnosis "but he is still a young animal and
therefore susceptible to infections," Schuele said.

Born at the zoo on Dec. 5, Knut - who was rejected by his mother and
hand-raised by zookeepers - rose to fame last month thanks to television and
newspaper pictures. So potent is his appeal that zoo attendance has roughly
doubled to 15,000 on average daily since his debut, officials said. He has
his own blog and TV show and appeared on the cover of Vanity Fair.
