I meant to post this earlier  . At any rate, did you guys hear about the grizzly bear/polar bear hybrid they found? It had a grizzly bear father and a polar bear mother. The full article can be found here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grizzly-polar_bear_hybrid Live long and prosper.  -EbonyPatriot |

Yep and what's even more odd is that the animal was wild bear.  Live long and prosper. -EbonyPatriot |

Wew o.O that's a new one, I only know about Ligers (lion-tiger) but I've never heard that bears can be cross breed too

Ooh, my mom showed me that not too long ago. I hadn't realized that bear hybrids had been bred before in captivity, either; I never would have thought it could happen in the wild. Sounds like something out of fanfiction. It's just a shame the bear was only discovered as a trophy. Out of the names suggested for the hybrid, I like the sound of "Nanulak". I laughed when I first saw an article proclaiming it a "pizzly" bear. XD |

Neither did I actually until I heard about it on the news. (I only known about tigons, ligers, and zorses). That's what I thought too. Actually, I'm suprised there hasn't been for BB yet. Same feelings here- I know it porbably wouldn't have been found ohterwsie, but I still wish they hadn't killed it.  Yes pizzly just doesn't sound right. XD Of course "grolar bear" isn't much better. ;D Live long and prosper. -EbonyPatriot |

Wow! I never thought that would happen in the wild. Very interesting. Too bad they shot it though...
