Bald Bears Make Me Uneasy
Behold Delores, one of the many female bears at a zoo in Leipzig suffering from a baffling and sudden loss of hair. I have nothing to say other than, wow, this photo is extremely disturbing. I feel like I'm seeing something that I shouldn't. And now, so are you.
I AM AFRAID
No bear. Only Zuul.
It's still better looking than Garry Shandling.
It's only the female bears? Gee, I wonder why! http://www.theawl.com/2009/11/art-department-illustrates-adds-to-image-problem
Hey, a no-kill hearth rug! It's progress.
I'd look in the Mens Underwear Dept. at Bergdorf's.
I'm no doctor but, I think she needs some lotion.
I feel scandalized and morose, and it isn't even 11:00AM yet.
Bear, naked. That is very sad. She looks like Sigourney Weaver in "Ghostbusters." (Post-transformation into Zuul, the Gatekeeper, of course.)
there is no Dana, only hammer pants made of scrotum skin.
Is there anything Alexander McQueen can't get people to wear?
Maybe the male bears like her fully shaved.

Oofa
You don't realize that bears have really bad posture until you see a bald one.
"I didn't realize when I asked for a Brazilian that they'd take it all off."
"Bear got mugged. They took everything she got!"
Mathie, if The Awl had star commenters you'd be the KW Sagitarii.
So hot.
This is just wrong on too many levels. Make it all better, zoo vets!
If you look at it long enough, it starts to look like Mayor Bloomberg.
It's a turtle without its shell!
Its like Satan fucked an elephant.
Can you say menopause?
Looks a lot like the Montauk Monster… hmm…
Mystery solved.
AHEM.
*mutter*
Thank you Google for running the "Look Younger, with Fuller Hair!" ad next to this
I had a dream last night that grizzly bears were chasing me. I blame you, Balk.
Ok, the brick background makes me really uneasy.
I picture these things leaping from rooftop to rooftop in Manhattan and pouncing down on pedestrians unawares below.
If it were Times Square, that'd be fine but I feel like beargoyles would have a larger territory.
Like one of those Resident Evil dogs…
Where WAS Umbrella meant to be headquartered?
gosh, I hope this doesn't happen to Balk
Add insult to injury, the article calls it a Bespectacked Bear, when it is fact a Spectacled Bear. Well, it's a spectacle anyway.
God. Bald AND wears glasses. Poor George-Castanza bear.
Like looking in a mirror, right Balk?
Only when he looks at the shed hair on the ground…
It sort of looks like it's wearing sweatpants.
I know, you'd think bears would be a bit more toned.
Stop freaking out. She went as a lion for Halloween.
Ha!
No Where the Wild Things Are joke? I am disappointed.
Warner Bros. went all out to market that movie in Germany, and it still couldn't break $100 mil overseas. (Or, was that not the kind of joke you were looking for?)
Well, I hadn't considered quality; I was more disappointed in the lack of an attempt.
Poor thing. Somebody should knit her a nice sweater.
Like Rupert's.
