The normally white bears at the Japenese Higashiyama Zoo and Botanical Gardens changed color after swimming in an algae-filled pond. Zoo official Masami Kurobe said the green polar bears had sparked concern amongst visitors about whether the animals were sick or carrying mold.

High temperatures in July and August and less-frequent water changes because of the zoo’s conservation efforts had caused an algae growth in the bear pond and safety moat. Mr.Kurobe added that the algae enters hollow spaces in the bears’ fur and was hard to rinse off. The bears are expected to return to their natural color when the algae growth subsides in November.

A 7-year-old boy breaks into a popular zoo in Australia and feeds several live animals to the resident crocodile.

The 30-minute rampage, caught on the zoo’s security camera, happened early Wednesday after the boy jumped a security fence at the Alice Springs Reptile Center in central Australia, said zoo director Rex Neindorf.

The child then went on a killing spree, bashing three lizards to death with a rock, including the zoo’s beloved, 20-year-old goanna, which he then fed to “Terry,” an 11-foot, 440-pound saltwater crocodile, said Neindorf.
