PIZZLIES

I checked tags and went back a while and didn't see this, keep in mind I fell off the internet. I wonder how many other people saw the same documentary I did not too long ago ehehe.

I think it would be pretty ridiculous if the poor guy got fined extra and jail time for hunting what appeared just like the polar bear he had paid to hunt. (and if the bear ws a male, it was probably infertile, and probably just as well he got it, as it wouldn't help preserve either species.)

I wonder how it would have acted in the wild. hym.

That interested me too, and whether they actually thrive well. Sometimes hybridisation causes genetic diseases, seen in ligers/tigons, I don't know if this happens with the bears though.

The hybrid is NOT as cute and cuddly as a grizzly nor a polar bear looks. It looks mad as hell.

For some reason most taxidermists tend to exaggerate the "beastly and dangerous" aspect of both bears, wolves and big cats. The other pictures weren't as bloodthirsty-looking, in my opinion.

[kapt_krunk]

Taxidermists should make them look at adorable as they look when they're walking around all "I'm a cute wild animal" because that's way more pleasant to see.

I saw that show (or a small part of it anyway)! I remeber being quite irritated at the guy for shooting such a rare critter. I really want to pet one but I'm not big on the cold or snow or being chewed on.

He didn't know what it was at the time. He had a license to shoot polar bears, with a guide, and I imagine it was part of a cull to prevent overpopulation. Either way the hybrid may have been rare, but it didn't really serve a purpose when you have the conservation of the actual grizzly and polar species in mind.
