bare bears. like balding men, though, they cultivate the beard to distract from the rest

That hedgehog video makes me sad. Poor little guy.

Having said the above, how about a recipe for bald hedgehog in a bald bear.

My cat has a very thin coat. He is accepted by other people because he is still covered in hair, but he does share some of the obvious underlying features of a Rex - compared to Mum's cat for example. The difference is, he is a breed, and he is plainly happy.
It's interesting to see animals without their protective layer. But if they are normal (ie not specifically bred) and lose their hair it is very sad. Surely it can only be a symptom of stress. Global warming has by no means reached a point to make animals shed their fur - the trend might be upwards but is nowhere near consistent enough to affect mammal behaviour. Poor caged bears. And yet where else could they go?

Shame they're trying to get by with the combovers. It doesn't work for Mort from Accounting, either.
(I was assuming either stress or or some kind of mange.)

I wasn't sure offhand what bears live in the Andes, but when I found a pic, immediately recognized Spectacled Bears. I have always liked them.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spectacled_Bear I don't think it is too out-of-line to suggest these are just an extreme example of how animals generally fail to thrive in zoos. I do have to say that hedgehogs look better with their spines. |

Fattest chupacabras I've ever seen. But if they are bears then they should have their thyroids checked. Or perhaps they have found a way to keep from becoming rugs?

I think you're on to something; the zookeepers shaved them and are selling the fur to keep the zoo running

That's not a bear exactly. This is what happens when a bear mates with a Kangaroo.

Showed them to a doctor friend, and who guesses nutritional deficiency.

I am a total cryptozoology fan (much to my scientist husband's chagrin), not because I believe in bigfoots & sea serpents, but because I believe that many of the "legends" are based on sightings of anomalies & mutations of known species. The bears shown here are just what Im talkin' about. If I saw that in the woods Im not sure I could tell you what in the hell it was!

Good point, Londoners didn't know what the Elephant man was, either.

Definitely unattractive, but you could dip a bear in shit and I'd still want to hug him.
Welome to the Cellar, juju!
