05/05/06 - This is an interesting
story. It has been known that it is possible for polar bears
and grizzly bears are able to mate and produce hybrids, but one has
never been seen in the wild-- until now. And sadly, it was
first seen by a hunter.
When he was threatened by some conservation officers to be jailed for
shooting a grizzly, he "wasn't very happy, having spent $50,000 on his
trip. He was also worried he wouldn't be able to take the hide back
home with him to Idaho."
The first one ever found in the wild, and he wants to keep the
hide. Well, I'll just let you all read the article from CNN here.
