(June 23) -- As a cub, Knut the polar bear was known as Knut the Cute. But now, animals rights activists say he's become Knut the Nut -- a bear with serious psychological problems.
A study by the German arm of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals finds that most polar bears in German zoos are insane. And that Knut, who lives in Berlin's Zoologischer Garten, is the worst of the lot.
The zoo denies it, with a spokesman calling the claim ridiculous and saying Knut is fine, according to AFP.
