My daughter says there was a green polar bear at the San Diego Zoo not too long ago. Algae had invaded hollow hairs in its fur. Once they figured it out, he had to have a thorough scrub down to get rid of it.

I think I read something about that too.

Polar bear skin is black and the hair acts like a fiber optic and directs sunlight to the skin.
