The Little Polar Bear!

'Aunt' Misses Peach(^;^), has sent Mother and I a wonderful video.
My Polar Bear Hug members - Sunday, Skipper, Miss Polly Pola and Anna were as enthralled as us...
Watching it, even made me fond of Skipper, as he must have been this cute once upon a time...

As this is our very first ever video up-load, I do hope you can all see and enjoy it too.
Ear wagging hugs to all,

True Colours Thursday - GREEN!

With still no GREEN Hug member, I was once again struggling.
Polly Pola, pointed out her favourite story book had a GREEN cover...But, I thought I needed something more substantial.
So, when Mother was not hogging the laptop, I turned to Google Images.
And after pawing in 'GREEN bear', this was what I found...Shock, horrow!!!
I just had to find out the full story, which meant another Google search!
Discovered this press release from 2007...
"Three normally white polar bears at Higashiyama Zoo & Botanical Gardens in central Japan changed their colour in July after swimming in a pond with an overgrowth of algae.
The sight of GREEN polar bears prompted many questions from visitors concerned about the animals welfare!
In a statement made by Zoo official Masami Kurobe, he said 'High Summer temperatures & less-frequent water changes because of the zoo's conservation efforts caused an algae growth in the bear pond & safety moat. And, algae that enters hollow spaces in the bears' fur, is hard to rinse off. The bears are expected to return to their natural colour when the growth subsides in November.'"

Mmm, very interesting!
Do hope, he was telling the truth as Polly Pola was most distraught.
Hugs,

New Bear Discovered!

Reading the morning newspapers, as I seriously do, came across this fascinating story and simply had to share it:-

"POLAR WORRY!

Scientists & Wildlife Experts scratch their heads after recent bear capture...

This purple "ursus maritimus" baffles all."

I was concerned!

Could it be another worrying side effect of Global Warming?

But, after much thought...

HAPPY APRILS FOOLS DAY!

Did I get you all, with this story???

It is sort of true.

In July 2003, a zoo in Mendoza, Argentina, treated its 23-year-old Polar bear, Pelusa suffering from Dermatitis, with an antiseptic spray.

The alarming side effect was, it turned her fur purple, making her a world wide bear-celebrity, much loved by children.

Polar Bear Attack!

Mother showed me the following alarming email she had recieved.

Polar Bear Attack in Churchill, Manitoba, Canada.
These are pictures of an actual polar bear attack in the downtown area.
The photographs were taken while people watched and could do nothing to stop the savage assault!

Reports from the local newspaper say that the victim will make a full recovery.
