2/18/2005: Black bear, white cub

Happy Friday, this black bear with a white cub was sent along by xoxoxoBruce with a cautionary note: no Snopes? It appears legit. His correspondent notes:

THESE PICTURES WERE TAKEN NEAR GORDON, WI

Not just any mother bear and her cub, but a black bear with a white cub. I don't know how rare it is for a black bear to have a white cub but at least we can say we've seen it no matter how rare it is!

I'm pretty sure the Indian community would go nuts over this. Kind of like a white buffalo. Since there seems to be no sign of a pink nose or eyes, I would say that it is not an albino.
