Holy crap!

Also, I like to read stories from the North. I always smile when I see familiar names.

I have to wonder, who banged whom.

You’d have to assume that the mother wsa the polar bear, since it was found in primarily polar bear country. I didn’t even know there were grizzly above the treeline.

So is it a Polzzley or a Grizzlar?
And I guess we’ll never know if this hybrid is sterile or not. :frowning:

First it was my basket, now my cooler isn’t even safe. Damn it all.

No, but others have been fertile.

Read the caption of the first pic.

Stephen Colbert called it a “Pizzly.” If you watch his show, you can imagine what he thought of this development.

I wonder what sort of round the hunter used to bring it down? It looks like an awfully large bear in the photo (and the amount of blood on the snow suggests a large calibre rifle).

Interesting development, though…

Great.

Too bad he is dead now.

:frowning:

I just love how they’re all standing above it in a trophy shot. :frowning:

That put me off too.

Looks like it has the shape of a grizzly, especially the head, but the white coat of a polar bear.

People hunt. In this case, some rich tourist with perhaps more money than brains dropped $26,000 to go shoot a polar bear in the Canadian Arctic. I confess I don’t get it either, but it’s a way of life for many of the northern residents.

It said it had brown patches of fur but all I could see was what looked like brown goggles around the eyes.

I think I prefer to call it GrizzLar. I am GrizzLar, the Mighty! Rahhhhrrrr!

Okay, so I guess it wasn’t that Mighty.

Once you go Grizzly you’ll never…

Ah… I got nothin’.

That’s what I’m saying. Polar bear’s a nasty motherfucker. Or fatherfucker, as the case may be.

The guy with the gun bangs everybody.

Interesting stuff. Thanks for the link.

I’ve heard of Jungle Love…so what would you call this? Tundra Love?
