From a professional point of view, these bears appear to be suffering from sarcoptic mange, to which bears are every bit as susceptible as dogs.
There are other possibilities, which are less likely. For instance, some drugs can cause skin infections and alopecia. But I can't think of any that would be prescribed to bears for any reason.
Another possibility would be maybe a food ingredient or contaminant, but once again, that seems far less likely than mange. |
