Green Polar Bear...

Salam to all...


What a green day...and I feel so green this morning...Why? I'd lost my wife's car key whereas her car was parked behind my car (betul ke grammar aku ning?). So instead of she can go to the office by herself, I’ve being forced to become her “Pak Supir” as the key is only found half an hour late from her routine ETD. Haiyya....


Implication? Instead of I post my own writing this morning, I only manage to get this article from Yahoo! regarding our current environmental issue. It’s quite interesting to know that due to the climate change, it is not only will affect our life (I consider human as a main factor that caused a climate change), but indirectly affect the normal life of innocent organism. Here’s the article....


TOKYO - Green polar bears are drawing questions from puzzled visitors at a Japanese zoo.

Three normally white polar bears at Higashiyama Zoo and Botanical Gardens in central Japan changed their color in July after swimming in a pond with an overgrowth of algae.

The sight of green polar bears has prompted many questions from visitors concerned about whether the animals are sick or carrying mold, zoo official Masami Kurobe said Sunday.

"Visitors seem to be shocked by the color, and we are asked every day why they are so green," he said.

High temperatures in July and August and less-frequent water changes because of the zoo's conservation efforts caused an algae growth in the bear pond and safety moat, Kurobe said.

Algae that enters hollow spaces in the bears' fur is hard to rinse off, he said.

The bears are expected to return to their natural color when the algae growth subsides in November, Kurobe said.

Hemm...what do you think? This is maybe one of the example about the effects and impacts of our wrongdoings to the nature. But, sadly to say that only few of us in this world are concern about this matters, whereas most of us still hungrily hunting the unlimited needs of “better life”.

p/s : Can you imagine what will happen to those bears if they are fully green with a white circle at their body?

Wassalam,
