Vets Baffled By Bald Bears With Mystery Condition

Vets have been left baffled by the condition of the bespectacled bear, who lives at a zoo in Leipzig, Germany. The sudden hair loss has affected all female bears at the zoo. Some experts believe it could be due to a genetic defect though the animals do not seem to be suffering from any other affliction.

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.
