Fourteen-year-old female polar bear, named 'Pelusa' stands in her cage in the Mendoza Zoo, 1100 kilometers northwest of Buenos Aires, July 18, 2003. Normally white, Pelusa turned violet after veterinarians administered a medicine to treat her for a skin condition. Her veterinarians said her coat should turn normal again within a month.

I've never seen a purple cow,
I never hope to see one.
But I can tell you anyhow,
I'd rather see than be one.

The Purple Polar Bear
(Reflections on a Mythic Beast
Who's Quite Remarkable, at Least)

I never saw a purple polar bear;
I never thought I'd catch one;
But now on FR, as a scroller there,
I've got one I can caption!

That is a fine looking polar bear.
If I were a single man I might want to ask that polar bear out for a date.

Like I was saying:

That is a fine looking beast.
If I were a single man I might want to ask that beast out for a date.
