Do You Recognize These Animals Without Hair?
#1 Balding Bear
Yikes! Bears are usually ferocious and scary at the best of times when stumbled upon in the wild, so you can imagine the shock and horror of finding this freaky-looking female bear! We hate to admit it, but under all that fur is something that ain't so pretty...Luckily, this bear is currently living in a German zoo, so you're not going to run into her in the wild anytime soon.
But why is she bald, you ask? Experts have been baffled by a case of the bears at this German zoo all losing their hair. Somebody get these bears some fresh fruit and vegetables, because experts believe the bears are lacking in nutrition, hence the unsightly baldness!
#2 Baby Aardvark
This little guy might be bald now, but the news for him isn't so bad! All aardvarks are born fragile and hairless, and it is only once they begin to receive nutrients and grow older that they begin to become less fragile and grow fur. So before you begin to feel sorry for this bald aardvark, just remember - He will soon blossom from an ugly duckling into a (still not so handsome) swan very soon! As soon as he has hair, he'll be getting all the girls.
#3 Skippy?
No, it's not Skippy the Bush Kangaroo, but this little hairless guy certainly is a kangaroo! Because of his strange, hairless state, his mother abandoned him at birth - Harsh! Thankfully though, German zoos have a fascination with bald animals so they took the little joey under their wings. Some people have even compared this kangaroo to "an alien" or ET, but personally we think that's going a little far. And no, he doesn't want to "phone home"...
#4 Bald Baboon
This female adult baboon certainly is a sight for sore eyes - The poor thing is completely bald! As a result, the animal which was found in Zimbabwe, hangs around the African bush by herself. We don't know why all the male baboons are so horrified by her - she is one in a million after all. Someone put a ring on that finger! It is believed that a rare case of baboon alopecia has caused this little lady to lose all of her fur.
#5 Skinny Pig?
That's right, this little fellow is a breed of guinea pig, but an extremely bald one at that! If you've ever been confused about why the guinea pig is called a "pig", then now you must certainly see the resemblances. Just look at that pink skin! So why is he called a "skinny pig"? Skinny pigs are a hairless breed of guinea pig that originated when a hairless lab guinea pig bred with a normal guinea pig. Strange, huh?
#6 Polly Wants Some Feathers
This parrot doesn't want a cracker, he just wants some feathers for goodness sake!Parrots might be known for their brilliant colors, but this poor guy is lacking in this department...Not so pretty when they're not covered in feathers, are they? We don't know what this parrot's owner was feeding him all these years, but it clearly hasn't been good. Somebody get this parrot a veterinarian!
#7 Hairless Khala
You might think that this pup should have considered using Rogaine when he was younger, however, this pooch is a hairless khlala, which is a breed of hairless dog.The poor little guy was born without hair! This crazy breed of dog originated in South America, and they are well-known for their low maintenance.
So when it comes to this dog, you can put the dog brush and comb away! They certainly don't look like they enjoy pampering after all. To add insult to injury, this dog was voted the 2002 Ugliest Dog in The World.
