Grolar bears

A second hybrid bear has been killed on sea ice in the Northwest Territories. Tests have revealed that this one is a second-generation hybrid, the offspring of a female grizzly-polar bear hybrid and a male grizzly bear. It's believed that such hybrids will become more common as climate change forces grizzlies into more northern climates, and disappearing sea ice forces polar bears onto the mainland.
