Grizzly hybrid discovered - The Orange Mane

L.A. BRONCOS FAN · 05-14-2006, 10:37 PM

DNA confirmed it The first documented case of a hybrid grizzly-polar bear in the wild.

Tracker Roger Kuptana suspected the hunter he was guiding had shot a hybrid bear last month after noticing its white fur had brown patches and it had the claws and humped back of a grizzly.

Territorial officials did a DNA test and confirmed that the hybrid was born of a polar mother and grizzly father.

"Their habitats overlap a little bit and their breeding seasons overlap a little bit," said a polar bear biologist.

"It's the first time it's known to have happened in the wild."

Could you imagine how pissed off a griz-polar bear would be waking up from a dart?

I wouldn't say "lowest form of life", but I agree its not right to kill for fun. Kill for the intended purpose of supplying food.
