Did You Know? There was a bear in a zoo in Medoza City, Argentina that contracted a skin condition. Zoo officials tried treating the skin condition, and in the process the bear turned purple! (Temporarily, at least.) It looked much better than the algae-stained green bears, FWIW. (Also, check out the video of polar bears playing with sled dogs!) LEARN MORE.

Hey, I know what they were using! Betcha they treated the bear with Gentium Violet – which means that the ‘skin condition’ was likely fungal or a yeast infection. I know women who have used Gentium Violet to treat thrush, and it’s always a little odd to meet a baby with a purple tongue. 🙂
