[–]lookattheduck 93 points94 points ago

Looks like a yao guai from fallout.

[–]long_live_king_melon 36 points37 points ago

Well the Yao Guai are actually mutated black bears.

[–]HorsHead4tuna 10 points11 points ago

So now I know not to feed it.

[–]mister_llama 2 points3 points ago

First thing i thought

[–]Tsvenkovkorvsky 2 points3 points ago

I was thinking more along the lines of fat werewolf.

[–]lookattheduck 1 point2 points ago

Lol. That one's definitely funnier. Full moon comes around but instead of killing and death the werewolf just stays home and watches cartoons.

[–]Tsvenkovkorvsky 1 point2 points ago

Well in the werewolf's defense, it is a long way to the front door. Plus you have to open it... Well it's just a lot of work.

[–]gamerlen 0 points1 point ago

I always wondered why the yao guai were called mutated bears but now I really see the resemblance.

[–]windowvision 0 points1 point ago

dammit, i was gonna say this

[–]_duncan 20 points21 points ago

It isn't shaved, it's a very rare sort of disease, and this disease causes hair loss

[–]skybluskyblue 8 points9 points ago

It looks like mange. It looks like the dogs that have generalized demodectic mange. It is hard to get rid of and is thought to be partly due to a defective immune system. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demodicosis Look at he pictures of the dogs with this affliction; this one look very much like the bear. ---------> http://loudoun.nvcc.edu/vetonline/VET133/images/mite%20tick%20lesson%20images/6mangecourtesyJenniferBirche.jpg

[–]overusedoxymoron 1 point2 points ago

Seconded. This is certainly mange.

[–]bratfap 1 point2 points ago

So sad. Do animals ever come back from this, or is euthanizing the best option?

Also, I think my dog has fleas so I treated him with K9 Advantix today but I'm still paranoid he's going to wind up hairless and in pain.

[–]rolandgilead 2 points3 points ago

While my dog didn't have it that badly she had persistenly for 6 months as a puppy. It eventually went away and her hair grew back might have been because I caught it early enough/she was a puppy though

[–]skybluskyblue 1 point2 points ago

My puppy had localized mange. I had to bather frequently with a special shampoo and apply ivermectin from time to time. She recover fine but has always had allergies that cause her feet to swell up red with pustules. I nearly put her to sleep because I could not see her suffer when she wanted to fetch so bad but did not because of the pain. THEN i was lucky to move 8 miles awy from the pinion pine forest. Now she is symptom free! However, I can never bring her to visit my parents hat live in that forest. Generalized mange like that is difficult to recover from. It takes maybe years of dedication from the owner.

[–]Zenitram 4 points5 points ago

And it's not a black bear...

Check the last picture.

[–]fish_tacoz 64 points65 points ago

Thanks. I was going to say repost, but you were much more dedicated than I would have been.

[–]Obi-Prawn_Kenobi 35 points36 points ago

karmadecay does all the work for you, s/he just copied and pasted

[–]kittylauncher 23 points24 points ago

where does one find karmadecay

Edit: im fucking retarded.

[–]Post_op_FTM 4 points5 points ago

oblivious to the obvious...

[–]kittylauncher 4 points5 points ago

wow.. facepalm

[–]SimplySarc 0 points1 point ago

So, in essence, S/He is also a reposter.

[–]Obi-Prawn_Kenobi -1 points0 points ago

yes

Who are you and what did you do with Obi Wan Cannoli?

[–]reply_and_lose 0 points1 point ago

[–]kwijibo21 -1 points0 points ago

It's interesting to note that it was both posted on /aww and on /WTF a number of times.

[–]Variable12 5 points6 points ago

ahhh yes i see. Clearly, my best bet would be to repost this in todayiliearned, in order to achieve maximum karma.

[–]Itsmeagainmom 1 point2 points ago

TIL is nothing BUT reposts technically.

[–]TaintSaint 8 points9 points ago

All you did is make me want to see a hairless raccoon.

[–]tlazolteotl 1 point2 points ago

now that was satisfying to see

[–]elustran 0 points1 point ago

I assume karmadecay only goes back 1 year?

[–]RzK -1 points0 points ago

Woahh, you hit the repost gold mine

[–]BlueCrue 0 points1 point ago

Can't believe someone put this on r/aww

[–]gurgatron 51 points52 points ago

Dear God it favors some sort of elephant/rat hybrid....

[–]Duramax159 26 points27 points ago

This isn't even its final form!

[–]hobo_shinobi 14 points15 points ago

[–]long_live_king_melon 6 points7 points ago

I think it looks like Snoop Dogg.

[–]chewbaccas_barber 0 points1 point ago

I thought Hugh Jackman was letting himself go

[–]Kristanwj 1 point2 points ago

It's the eyes. Definitely the eyes.

[–]feezyduck 8 points9 points ago

Thats actually a sun bear

[–]mykalepaul 6 points7 points ago

confession bear, is that you?

[–]Liquidkp 31 points32 points ago

F*ck son... learn to use google and get your facts straight..

"Some experts believe it could be due to a genetic defect though the animals do not seem to be suffering from any other affliction. The bears, which originate from South America, normally have fluffy dark brown fur and would now be growing a thicker fur coat to keep warm during the winter. "

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1225042/Germanys-bald-bears-Fur-disease-afflicts-Dolores-baffles-vets.html

[–]coolinwithcosta 54 points55 points ago

Tells OP to check facts. Cites the Daily Mail.

[–]Liquidkp 0 points1 point ago

Not sure about " daily mail" thing..is that bad? I just googled 'hairless bear' and a blog had an article on it that linked to Daily Mail...

Not sure if you want me to link you to the blog if you feel better informed that way?

[–]Liquidkp 1 point2 points ago

Here ogle at the blog all you want: http://www.geekologie.com/2009/11/dolores-germanys-hairless-spec.php

Better yet..here is the google search for you to decide through the results which article will give you a general scope the quickest:

[–]whos_asking 8 points9 points ago

Not a black bear, and it's not shaved. Some kind of chinese bear and I don't currently recall why it's hairless

[–]RochelleH 1 point2 points ago

[–]whos_asking 0 points1 point ago

Ther you go. I know I got saw this quite some time ago, couldn't get my facts in line

[–]Trashcanman33 1 point2 points ago

What kind of bear is it then? I thought there were only 3 types of bears, Black,Brown, and Polar, with many subspecies across the world, although the Polar Bear is very close to a Brown Bear.

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points ago

There are more than just those 3 main species. The American Black Bear, Asiatic Black Bear, Brown Bear, Polar Bear, Sloth Bear, Spectacled Bear, Sun Bear, and Giant Panda Bear are the different species currently alive, with of course many subspecies to those.

This isn't a shaved black bear, it's a sun bear with mange.

[–]machiavelly 0 points1 point ago

No it's actually a spectacled bear.

[–]whos_asking 0 points1 point ago

Kodiaks? Grizzlies? Pandas? There are literally dozens of different types of bears

[–]utnow 1 point2 points ago

That bear has no honor.

[–]0y5132 0 points1 point ago

I want to know who was the badass to have shaved that thing.

[–]Pauls2theWall 1 point2 points ago

I can't believe No one has said this yet, but I feel obligated to...

Fuzzy-wuzzy was a bear, Fuzzy-wuzzy had no hair, Scientists believe its a genetic defect. Fuzzy died a virgin.

[–]pwnerofnoob 1 point2 points ago

i love to surprise my friends with this one.

[–]Fraisez 0 points1 point ago

Thank you. All of these animals have now ceased to be cute for me.

[–]superawesomecookies 2 points3 points ago

The parrot terrified me.

[–]reddit_user13 1 point2 points ago

My favorite is the Israeli Naked Chicken, which looks like a big pink scrotum:

Looks wimpy!

[–][deleted] 9 points10 points ago

you're right. You should go kick it and see what happens.

[–]mrtoxic6003 2 points3 points ago

Correction: this is what a repost looks like

[–]uk2knerf 1 point2 points ago

See... I feel like I could take this thing in a fight... The hair makes it look much more ferocious.

[–]silent_p 1 point2 points ago

Rodents of unusual size? I don't think they exist.

[–]AskAbi 1 point2 points ago

Hold it, hold it-- is this a kissing book?

[–]betteroffGreg 1 point2 points ago

Wouldn't be so funny if it was a white bear...you bear-racist motherfuckers

[–]JimDandy63 0 points1 point ago

Who the hell got the unlucky task of shaving a bear? :)

[–]Stjornur 3 points4 points ago

I'm glad I can now visually identify shaved bears. Thank you OP

[–]JohnMcGurk -1 points0 points ago

It's a spectacled bear, and its supposed to look like THIS. There's a little more background HERE

[–]psno1994 -1 points0 points ago

Resident Evil called, it wants its giant mutated rats back.

[–]InvalidWhistle 0 points1 point ago

It looks like mange, usually bears, dogs and wild canines get it and usually it looks just like that.

Your repost is a repost of a repost and you should feel terrible

[–]CharleHuff 0 points1 point ago

Oh, terrifying. A shaved black bear looks terrifying.

[–]chilidog17 1 point2 points ago

Fuzzy wuzzy wasn't very fuzzy was he?

[–]pure_anus 1 point2 points ago

Fuzzy Wuzzy was a bear, Fuzzy Wuzzy had no hair. Fuzzy Wuzzy looks like he cares. Maybe even despairs. He's so hungry but he's only fed pears. From fat asians sitting in chairs. But Fuzzy Wuzzy wants a steak...cooked rare. The fat asians do not care. "Eat a pear, you hairless bear!" Fuzzy did not think this was fair, So Fuzzy Wuzzy decided to give them a scare. He took a dare and lured them to his lare, then scared them down a flight of stairs. The asians never had a prayer. Fuzzy Wuzzy did not care. CUZ HEZ A COLD BLOODED MUTHAFUCKA.

It looks like a mix of a kangaroo and an elephant. And a tiny lion mane added in.

We should really call it an Eleroo instead of a bear

[–]Hypoallergenic_Robot 0 points1 point ago

[–]Sprkdatshyt 0 points1 point ago

thats not a shaved bear, it has some weird condition and lost all its hair. google it... because, why would you shave a whole perfectly good bear?

I would fucking shoot that thing on site.

[–]msi_junkie 0 points1 point ago

If I have learned one thing in my life, hairy animals should never be shaved.

[–]footballfanatic15 -1 points0 points ago

Why would somebody do this to the poor bear, it didn't do anything to them? There's a reason bears have fur and that's to keep them warm so they don't die. I feel so bad for this bear and I hope it doesn't die because some idiot decided it'd be cool to see a naked bear. The person that did this should be ashamed.
