Green Polar Bears
 SINGAPORE (AP) -- It's a wee bit early for St. Patrick's Day, but Singapore Zoo's two polar bears have turned green. The usually white coats of Sheba and her 13-year-old son, Inuka, turned green a few weeks ago from algae growing in their hollow hair shafts, said Vincent Tan, a spokesman for the zoo. "The harmless algae is the result of Singapore's warm and humid tropical conditions," Tan said. Polar bears have clear hair shafts that appear white because they reflect light. http://www.cnn.com/2004/TECH/science....ap/index.html
