Staff at Leipzig Zoo in Germany have contacted their peers around the world to ask if any of them have seen the phenomenon and can offer a solution. The balding bears have lost their fur as the freezing German winter approaches.

No hair restorer jokes please! Very sad perhaps they have suffered some psychological trauma that has made their hair drop out like reading some of the appalling cruelty their fellow animals have been subjected to! Perhaps their access to Care2 should be curtailed!

In the short term I hope these bears get some warm clothing against the cold winter weather. In the UK bald chickens rescued from battery farms get woolly jumpers knitted for them till their feathers grow back! Anyone got some giant knitting needles! I wonder if this is the same sort of stress happening here!
