Uh-oh. Bears are going bald? This can’t be good…
I’m pretty sure humans are responsible in some way for this fuckup.
Sad, Hairless Bear Is Sad of the Day: Leipzig Zoo vets have been unable to determine what caused Dolores (above) and all other female Spectacled Bears in captivity to suddenly go bald.
From the Daily Mail:
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.
