Strange Rash Denudes Leipzig Bears
Daily Mail | Submitted by: francisco
"The sudden hair loss has affected all female bears at the zoo... 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."

I bet they have a rotten attitude, being all rashy and itchy. Looks funny too, wonder if the other bears are making fun of them?

Fuzzy-Wuzzy was a bear. Fuzzy-Wuzzy had no hair. Fuzzy-Wuzzy wasn't very fuzzy, was he?

This was happening to the squirrel population here in southeast Kansas. Some kind of mange caused by a minute insect was causing patches of their fur to fall out. There was a big die-off over the winter from it. Methinks the die-off is over with & Mr. Darwin has selected out the invulnerables to carry on the line.

I had to read this sentence twice- "Vets have been left baffled by the condition of the bespectacled bear, who lives at a zoo in Leipzig." You mean to tell me the bear is bald AND wears glasses!? I think they were trying to say the bear was a spectacle. Journalist trying to get fancy with the engrish.

Okay, talk about beating a dead horse, I had to come back to this article. "pulling in the crowds who want to see want to see the wrinkly animals." This could have been bad editing. "These is how Dolores would have looked before she lost her fur." I'm calling this one a fuck up. Reading this damn article that a 4 year old could have done a better job with, I see that whoever wrote it was saying the bear was spectacled. As in, the adjective use, markings look like the animal is wearing glasses and/or the noun use, spectacled bear the proper name for the animal. In either case Bespectacled is still wrong. *side note- spectacled does not pass spell check. hmmm... weird

my boss headed up to Alaska to go bear hunting. In front of the whole maintenance office, I warned him to wear at least a coat or he'd get sick. I DID get to share in good eating, a week later, that tasted like good beef.

It's most likely some sort of STD. If you spend any time in Leipzig, you find out that the whores peddle their flesh just outside the zoo, and some of them are beastly. I am jealous that 'other' beat me in posting the fuzzy-wuzzy rhyme.
