e.e; Well, the bears are suffering an algae infestation. One would wish the vets at the zoo would do something to help them before the algae has a nastier effect than just color dye. Sloths are symbiotic with a type of algae, which aids them to camouflage in the rainforest, but polar bears are not adapted for such a symbiosis. The algae could give the polar bears at that zoo anything next, from a rash to lung infection, which could be fatal.

Azrael...because the Polar Bears are loosing their normal stomping grounds due to Gobal Warming, evolution has kicked in and now their changing from white to forest green to help them better to blend in with their new surroundings as the Polar region turns into a tropical jungle. At least that's what Al Gore said.

Maybe they put too much chlorine in the water to try and detoxify a lotta that hellacious polar bear poo.

I've seen it pourin' outta them on youtube. It's really horrific.
