#1. Knutmania
Baby polar bear Knut made his world debut at the Berlin Zoo in March amid
international controversy. The captive-born cub had been rejected by his
mother and hand-raised by zookeepers, prompting an animal-rights activist to
say that it would have been better to let the newborn die than be treated as
a pet. By the time the activist claimed he had been misquoted, Knut was well
on his way to becoming the poster-bear for the green movement in general and
for the dwindling polar bear population in particular. He even made the
cover of Vanity Fair, (superimposed) alongside Leonardo DiCaprio.
