This is a grizzly bear/polar bear hybrid.
Yes, they're real.
Yes, they're fertile.
And yes, they will rip your fucking face off.

With several suspected sightings and eight confirmed cases,[3] theories of how such hybrids might naturally occur have become more than hypothetical. Although these sister species often occupy adjacent regions, direct contact has not been the norm because polar bears hunt, breed, and sometimes even make maternity dens on sea ice, where brown bears have an overwhelmingly terrestrial lifestyle.
Scientists have been unable to give an exact explanation for the phenomenon.
One theory suggests that as the grizzly population increases, male bears leave their dens sooner while females stay with their cubs. This means that to the male grizzles, female polar bears have become viable mates. This is the main speculated reason for the fact that hybrids have been reported to have grizzly fathers and polar mothers. Scientists have also hypothesized this may also be a climate change issue. As winters begin to get shorter, grizzlies begin to move more frequently expanding their territory. This expansion in territory has also changed what these grizzles are eating.
With the lack of berries, salmon, and natural vegetation in the Arctic, grizzlies have been seen hunting seals, which are a common prey for polar bears. This close proximity while hunting is another proposed explanation for the hybridization.[8]

Cocaine Grolar when?

Be known about them for a while now

I love their snouts

Are they actually more dangerous than polar bears? Because polars are beasts from hell.

I already knew about grolar bears tho...

monkey-human?

Bear species have shown a propensity for evolutionary survival, even if it means the extinction of one due to environmental changes while new breeds begin. It's why a variety of species has existed for centuries. It's like Mother Nature wants to keep some form of ursine predators in the loop.

Is it pronounced like Polar? or like some weird Pokemon like Gro-lar?

Wait, if they can produce viable offspring in their own right, doesn't that mean polar bears and grizzly bears are merely subspecies of the same species?

Cross-species mating is nothing new, but a core differentiation is that the offspring of different species can't viably reproduce on their own accord.

I asked this question too, and they're not considered the same species because they "should" never meet in the wild to begin with.

I say it like Polar

That'd be a humanzee. Humans and monkeys definitely can't mate, but there's disturbingly been a non-zero amount of research into the hypothetical of a human-chimp hybrid.

Nah bully kutta polar bear all day.

Why use some tiny ass dog like a put when a 240lb behemoth lime the bully exists.

You want to create an animal that swims across the Arctic Ocean to maul children?

are bears just werewolfs?
