Regina,

I've contacted a friend at IMMA (international marine mammal association).
He's getting some information. I'll pass that along when it arrives.

Ok, so we developed a program to explain how polar bears survive the cold
due to their insulation, skin and fur.  During the review before  several
science experts, the statement was made that seal  fur causes a polar bear's
scat to fluoresce.  I have exhausted my resources and still can't find any
scientific research to support the statement. If the statement is true, can
anybody on the list serv direct me to the source?
Thanks,
Regina
