Problem?

Purple Polar Bear

Nope this is not photoshop manipulated. A female polar bear named Pelusa turned purple after she was given a special treatment to clear up a skin condition. This has attracted crowds at the Mendoza City Zoo in Argentina. The fur has returned to normal after a few days.

I find it hard to believe already grown fur magically turned purple after some kind of treatment. Maybe new fur would be purple, but I cant believe the whole polar bear would just turn completely purple. What is this? one of those barbies that changes hair colour in warm water?

It's a purple antiseptic spray. Remember that polar bear fur is normally clear (not white, but clear) and so a purple spray would easily change the appearance. It also said as soon as the bear takes a bath, it goes away.

I read that polar bear skin is some obscure colour like green, or black, cant remember, that may have something to do with this

Legions you are a crack head. Quoted from http://www.greatbear.org/polarbear.htm: Physical Char. #2 Their outer fur is called "guard hair" and is actually clear and hollow (like a tiny glass tube), which allows the polar bears to trap the sun's heat and light. The guard hairs are hard, smooth and shed water.

ALSO (shut the hell up all of you) Phys Char #5: Their skin is black to absorb heat from the sun. Under their skin they also have a thick layer of fat to keep them warm.

To all of you retards out there, try researching stuff on Google before you open your stupid mouths and remove all doubt that you really are retarded!

Again that website is http://www.greatbear.org/polarbear.htm
LOOK IT YOU RETARDS
