Is this a bear with mange or what? I hope I never see one. Looks rather scarey.

That condition in Bears is called "bare-faced-bear". Ha.
Probably mange or other parasite.
Best wishes.

I always thought bears had similar features to dogs, and that looks like a bearwolf.

My prom date has more hair and is considerably larger... Rob you did better than me!
I've seen this on a couple bears, and don't know what it is. Maybe a parisite or maybe the bear just gets carried away in the spring rubbing itself starting from head to toe?

Man I would hate to run into that up close and right before dark. That is one bad looking animal.

No,it's not mange.I can't remember the details but it's a zoo bear and I think,one of the Asian species and it is ancient.I don't think bears get mange but if it did,a zoo vet would get rid of it quickly.
