The
bear is the symbol for Berlin. Since
1280 it has been on the
coat of arms.
Bruno is believed to have been the first brown bear on German soil in 170 years. He was declared a Problembär ("problem bear") and was
shot and stuffed.
Knut was a celebrity polar bear that died of dysentery and encephalitis after lifelong captivity. Both bears generated a lot of revenue before they went into teddy heaven.
But there is still a real
55 ton problem....
