Knut the polar bear made the Berlin zoo in Germany one profitable enterprise. The heart-warming story of a cub rejected by his mother and tormented by his sisters turned into one of 3.5 million visitors and over 30 million dollars between the years of 2007-2009 when Knut was growing up.
According to an article at MSN, those years were the only years the Berlin zoo actually made money.
