Bear With Blue Head Spotted Near Mission, B.C.

Well, we never.

A bear with a very blue head was spotted near Silvermere Lake in Mission, B.C. on Wednesday, out for an evening stroll with her cub.

Photographer Aaron Smith was driving through the area when he saw the animal on the side of the road, according to Global News. He pulled out his camera, and quickly realized something was a little off.

The photographer took a video of the bear meandering about, and uploaded it to YouTube.

But, worry not — conservation officer Paul McFadden said the bear is still healthy, and that blue fur will eventually grow out on its own, according to the CBC.
