what animal sheds the pads on its paws in late winter?

I found one reference to an animal shedding its paw pads:

"Black Bears not only shed their fur, they also shed their paw pads."

Please note that I was unable to verify this assertion at any other
site.

Search strategy: shed "paw pads"; 
shed "paw pads" -"teddy bear" -cat -dog -horse -geckos;
"black bear" "paw pad";
"black bear"
