Apparently, Bears Have Hair for a Reason

Today I read this article about some poor, sad female bears at a German zoo that have mysteriously lost all their hair.  This is how a normal spectacled bear looks:

And this is how they look bald:

In other words:

BEAR - HAIR = ELEPHANT BODY WITH HORRIFYING SATAN/DONKEY FACE

This disturbs me.  I did not think that bears would look awesome under their hair, but I didn't think they would look like that.  I mean, compared to this, hairless cats--which in reality look like they are mostly made from turkey slices and alien eyes--look downright cuddly.

OK, not cuddly.  But definitely not as bad.  Let's just say that hairless bears will never be invited to live with any of the Real Housewives of New Jersey anytime soon.

I just yelped out loud. Bear 1: oh hey, a bear- kinda cute, but I probably don't want to run into one. Bear 2: will harvest my soul with dark magic.
