According to the UK's Daily Mail, as Germany is about to enter winter, people have already put on thick coats, and animals are all covered with a thick layer of fur. However, surprisingly, a spectacled bear in a German zoo has begun to lose its hair all over its body and has now become a "naked bear." How to get through the cold winter has become the biggest problem it is currently facing.

Helpless old bear: It's not its fault. Delores, the spectacled bear, has contracted a mysterious illness that has caused her to lose all her fur, leaving her "naked." Delores is a spectacled bear at the Leipzig Zoo in Germany. The veterinarians are also very confused about what caused Delores to suddenly lose her fur, which has even affected other female bears in the zoo. They speculate that it might be due to a genetic defect.
