Hibernating bears' wounds heal without scars

Quote:Black bears have a surprising capacity to heal as they hibernate, say researchers in the US.

Medical researchers and zoologists worked together to find that the bears' wounds healed with almost no scarring, and were infection-free.

Nice. I wonder if it's an ability specific to bears, or if human medical procedures would heal more quickly if a person's body were inactive, at rest througout. . .
What falls away is always, and is near.

Also, I am not pretending to be female, this profile picture is my wonderful girlfriend. XD

-yet another reason to eliminate the bear threat in a massive preemptive strike. In light of this new intel on the enemy's tactical capabilities, I suggest we employ bunker busters at or near the beginning of spring.

Yeah I want to see the guy who crawled into a den of hibernating bears to get that information. Talk about your bad jobs.
