Found in Ontario, little Gizmo must have struggled with the freezing cold Canadian weather. Animal experts who examined the strange-looking raccoon ruled out the disease alopecia as being responsible for the hair loss, and believe it is due to hormone imbalances or inherited genetic disorders. Now, the animal is living it up in heated rooms at the Aspen Valley Wildlife Sanctuary!
