A worrying nudity craze among animals appears to be one of the latest trends to hit the web for some reason and, to get the ball rolling, we show a hairless bear and four other weird, nude animals.
It started with a hairless bear, but now the internet can’t seem to get enough of animals without their fur/shell.
The recent trend, appearing on Reddit, of course, has encouraged people to post other animal oddities from across the internet archives, many of which simply just don’t look like the animals we all know.
Unfortunately for the hairless bear, a weird genetic defect that sprung from bears kept at Germany’s Leipzig zoo created a family of bizarre hairless bears.
While it wouldn’t do them much good in the wild, the bears can live a relatively normal life once they are being taken care of by the zookeepers at least.
So aside from Dolores the hairless bear who was photographed, here are four other animals that just look plain weird once they came out of their shell/fur.
