Man spots a strange animal in the polar region,later discovers the reason behind its unusual origin

Other Stories Of Such Sight

There have been stories about other odd colored bears in the wild, living in the same space as polar bears, none had been ever tested for DNA or any other tests. When the first hybrid was found in 2006, scientists didn’t give it much attention but that changed when they discovered more hybrids. 

The Recent Discovery

In 2016, the third hybrid was discovered in Arviat, Canada. When this hybrid was found scientists blamed its appearance on climate change. Warm climates have been affecting the wildness in Arctic Circle to a major extent. The ice is melting and polar bears aren’t out in the ocean as often. 

Mating Pattern

For scientists, polar bear mating with another species was really confusing and new. And why is that? You ask. Because polar bears spend days chasing the female species before finally mating. So, this new hybrid in front of the eyes told the scientists a different story. Scientists believed that the change in temperature in the area forced them to mate with other species and the hybrids were a good mix which had characteristics of both the species. 

The Pizzlies

Pizzy bears inherit the physical features from both their parents. They have got long claws and the body is filled with fur and have hairy feet. It is the fur that distinguishes them from others which are partially hollow. It is believed that the fur makes them more adaptable to the warm temperatures. 

Adaptable?

Until the recent study, scientists thought that Pizzy bear are adaptable to any environment but that wasn’t true. On both land and ice, they aren’t that great. So, the claim that said climate change forced the hybrids to evolved was refuted after the recent study that told them a different story entirely. They found out some quite impressive things about this new species.

Parents Of The Hybrid

DNA tests told the scientists about the parents of the hybrid bear. They thought it was a mix between a grizzly bear and a polar bear, but actually, the bear’s mother was half polar, half grizzly, and the father was a full-grown grizzly bear. So, basically this bear was 75 percent grizzly and the rest was a polar bear.
