Fweethawt Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 http://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-36381785 A possible grizzly-polar bear hybrid has been shot by a hunter in northern Canada. Scientists will have to wait on DNA tests to determine whether it is one of the rare crosses. The two bears generally inhabit different ecological niches. But some experts suggest climate change and melting Arctic ice could increasingly bring them into contact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super Moderator florduh Posted May 25, 2016 Super Moderator Share Posted May 25, 2016 The crocs and other non-indigenous species now found in Florida are due to the exotic pet trade. The bear story is being floated as a proof for climate change, though such interbreeding has happened in the past as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
