bella could not keep a straight face long enough to scream “jacob NOOOOOOOOOOOO” with this thing around.

There is no Dana, only Zuul.
First to ask what this thing is and if it is real.
I believe it’s a black bear with mange.

R.O.U.S’s?
Rodents of Unusual Size? I don’t believe in the-OMG GETTITOFFGETITOFF!!!

The evil witch went too far this time. Having her black cat rape a kangaroo to create this monstrous chimera…
Yes, it’s real, see: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/worldnews/article-1225042/Germanys-bald-bears-Fur-disease-afflicts-Dolores-baffles-vets.html

It looks like a furless kangaroo down on all fours instead of upright. OTOH, it’s creepy no matter what it is.
It’s a hairless bear!
If that’s someone’s Halloween costume, I could not be more impressed.
here’s the website that came from:

El Chupacabra.
Being in Texas, that made me laugh especially hard. Every time someone spots a coyote with mange (and we’ve had a bunch of those in the past two years for some reason), they freak out, thinking it’s the chupacabra.
They’re saying that they aren’t sure what’s the deal with the balding bear, but it sure looks like mange to me (I once had a dog with chronic mange due to immune deficiency).
That’s exactly why I thought it was mange. Had a dog with demoditic mange. “Mange comes in three varieties: Demodectic, Cheyletiella and Sarcoptic. It is caused by different species of mites, tiny eight-legged critters related to spiders.” Guess they don’t have much mange in Germany…it says right in the description of the bear’s condition she has rashes and inflammation, plus her hair loss!
Saw that ‘Chupacabra’ out near the Woodlands didja?:)
“Ayoooo, Bald Coyotes of Houston.” Amazed me how someone could mistake it!
We had demoditic mange on our guinea pigs. Took about 3 or 4 trips to the vet before they realised which kind of mange it was and treated it properly (demoditic is very rare on rodents). Didn’t affect my naturally (nearly) hairless guinea pig though.
Meant to add, that bear reminds me a lot of my hairless guinea pig… only had fur on his face.
I know, right? It’s like people have never seen bald coyotes before.
The thing that repeatedly draws my attention is the patch of reddish fur on it’s forehead, and not how creepy it is.
Bad twilight put down, btw. This is not Failblog.
its eating my soul..
Fuzzy Wuzzy was a bear, Fuzzy Wuzzy had no hair, Fuzzy Wuzzy wasn’t very fuzzy, was he?
In this case, you’d have to say was she! *heehee* I love to sing that song!
Kill it with fire!
can i cook it?
WHAT has Yoda been up to…
Mr.Buggins complained to the zoo keeper, that his new gray flannel suit was a bit baggy, but was told it would ride up with wear.
Huh, I’d like to meet his tailor.
He may be sipping a piña colada at Trader Vic’s, but his hair is *far* from perfect.
Rick Moranis returns for the Ghostbuster’s remake, due for release 2010…
It’s actually really cute. Awwww.
It definitely has lost its cuddle factor.
oh, the world will forever remember the day hugh jackman forgot to shave.
I see they couldn’t afford Hugh Jackman for Wolverine II
oh thats just my dog, cthuluzuul.
try saying that ten times fast.
This is freaking cruel.
Does anyone actually care that this isnt a freak, its just a really sick bear? This is really sad
