Related: About this forumBlack bear with blue head spotted in Mission, B.C.
http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/black-bear-with-blue-head-spotted-in-mission-b-c-1.3216656Nobody's quite sure why a black bear spotted in Mission, B.C. sports a blue head.
Aaron Smith was driving along Highway 7 on Tuesday when he noticed the female bear and her cub. He pulled over to take a closer look. "It was such an odd thing it really was that blue!" he told CBC News. He and his colleagues decided to dub the bear "Blue Beary." He called the B.C. Conservation Service to see whether the bear might need some attention, but the service won't be sending its officers to check it out.
"The bear appears to be healthy and fine it's foraging and with a cub," said conservation officer Paul McFadden. "Maybe it got into a can of spray paint thinking it was food, maybe it dipped its head in a bucket of dye it's a bear doing a bear thing," he speculated.
The bear's condition doesn't require intervention, he said, the blue fur will eventually grow out naturally.
FOR ALL THE U OF M BEARS OUT THERE: GO BLUE!

(13,297 posts)7. I could imagine it pulling down something from overhead, like on a shelf
and one of the cans or buckets probably had paint or dye in it -- seems to have been more saturated on the top of his head than elsewhere. Then again, it might be an alien. lol
Or just a really hip bear.

Afterward, he felt a little flushed.

Talk about a horrible pun/shaggy dog story.
