OT - If You Shave Your Bear...
... it will probably look like this. Gotta be the strangest thing I've ever seen...

Vets baffled by bald bears with mystery condition (link)
You'd have thought a fur coat would have been the ultimate bear necessity.
But not for the unfortunate Dolores who has lost all her body hair and has just been left with a few tufts around her head.
Vets have been left baffled by the condition of the bespectacled bear, who lives at a zoo in Leipzig.
And Dolores isn't the only one. The sudden hair loss has affected all female bears at the zoo.
Some experts believe it could be due to a genetic defect though the animals do not seem to be suffering from any other affliction.
The bears, which originate from South America, normally have fluffy dark brown fur and would now be growing a thicker fur coat to keep warm during the winter.
But instead they have developed nasty rashes and inflammations on their skin.
Unfortunately for the bears, their lack of hair has been pulling in the crowds who want to see want to see the wrinkly animals.
Hopefully the zoo will be turning up the heat in their enclosure.

She looks powerfully unhappy.
At least it doesn't take Dolores long to do her hair before the tourists arrive.

Re: OT - If You Shave Your Bear...
I feel very sorry for the Bear, it's bad enough being locked in a zoo, without loosing all your fur as well! Maybe stress has something to do with it.
Whatever you do always give 100%........... unless you are donating blood.

Well the cure is in. My wife the nurse says it's most likely a lack of some vitamin or mineral they they get in their native habitat that they aren't getting in the zoo.

Uh oh! It looks likes the Germans are renewing their eugenics research.
Not long ago I saw a video of a German chimpanzee that walked upright like a man and now they have a bear that is naked like a man. Not surprising as bears have long been described as 'the beast that walks like man'.

Re: OT - If You Shave Your Bear...
I'm sure all the male bears are nauseous now that they've finally uncovered the truth.

Re: OT - If You Shave Your Bear...
I'd be willing to bet it's an allergic reaction to something they're being exposed to at the zoo. My dog started losing her fur, and the vet determined that she was allergic to something. After some anti-histamines and a steroid, she's fully clothed again and greatly relieved.
