North Carolina pup born with green colored fur; named 'Hulk'

A lime green puppy born last friday, stunned a North Carolina family, who called it an "incredible" experience.

Shana Stamey and her family knew their white German Shepherd would be having puppies soon. But the Canton, North Carolina family wasn't expecting one of the puppies to come out such an unusual color.

So how did little Hulk turn out that way?

According to veterinarian technician Suzanne Cianciulli, who works for Junaluska Animal Hospital in North Carolina, puppies can get stained with meconium while they're still in their moms. Meconium is the dark green substance forming the first feces of a newborn infant. Basically, puppies can get stained green from their first poo.

This isn't the first time puppies have been born green. It's happened to fur babies in Colorado, Florida and Scotland.

But don't worry, Hulk won't stay this green color forever. His fur will eventually fade to his natural white color.
