Tommisan 4th Gear April 25, 2018 Share April 25, 2018 Cannot remove meh? With medical sciences these days That was my question when I saw inuka The algae is blooming within the premises of Inuka's outdoor pool, inside the water, on the rocks and surroundings. When Inuka swims and rubs himself against the rocks, the algae is transferred to his fur coat. Supposingly, if Inuka sheds enough fur, the algae should come out. Unfortunately, the algae pesisted and his transparent coat stayed green. ↡ Advertisement 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xers007 Supercharged April 25, 2018 Share April 25, 2018 RIP Inuka 4. It went green from time to time Polar bears are generally known for their “white” fur – though the bears’ coats actually have no white pigment, but are hollow, according to the World Wildlife Fund. In Inuka’s case, microscopic algae from its pool would sometimes enter these hollow hair shafts, tingeing its fur green.

Lala81 Hypersonic April 25, 2018 Share April 25, 2018 zoos have always been controversial. Though i feel it's kinda sad to keep these animals behind enclosures, but without them, how would a child ever learn about the animals that inhabit our world. We know that books/tv shows cannot convey the same effect as seeing an animal in real life. Personally i don't ever want to meet a tiger/lion in it's natural habitat Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Friendstar Supercharged April 25, 2018 Author Share April 25, 2018 At least, my kids saw inuka before it passed on. Only time I've seen a polar bear also is at singapore zoo. Thanks for letting us at the equator see u in real life. Thank you for the words on behalf of us Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nzy Twincharged April 25, 2018 Share April 25, 2018 Cannot remove meh? With medical sciences these days That was my question when I saw inuka His fur is made of transparent tubes. So the algae grows inside. Normal for polar bears. But they shed once a year then they will slowly start to turn green again. Heard this from the zookeeper during the interactive sessions. Keep hearing that every week last year cuz my kids loved the zoo. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BanCoe Hypersonic April 25, 2018 Share April 25, 2018 Its such a big animal and needs space, make people stay in 400-500 sq ft pigeon holes want to also make animals whom are free roaming and spirited live in a small enclosure and in our equatorial climate compared to their Artic climate which goes below zero most of the year round , I think back then animal rights is not so strong; nowadays they will get much flak from them just like what happened at RWS with the killer whale or sharks or dolphins was it; Cant remember which ones though, now Poor creature whole life behind 4 walls ... hope he went to a better place . 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
