Polar Bears Going Green Too!

He's flipping of Exxon ... in his mind

This little big green polar bear at the Higashiyama Zoo and Botanical Gardens in Japan got some interesting stares from visitors this weekend. The greenness was caused by algae stick to the bears fur.

High temperatures in July and August and less-frequent water changes because of the zoo's conservation efforts have caused an algae growth in the bear pond and safety moat.

  1. How sad. I guess it's not enough that humans are destroying the polar bears' habitat.

  5. No matter what the occasion, it is never appropriate to put one's handbag on the table-it is considered extremely rude no matter how expensive or beautiful it is. We often place our handbag on the kitchen counter, a bench, and some even momentarily meet the floor so for hygiene reasons alone, it is not acceptable.
