First wild polar bear-grizzly cross

[M.T. Pockets]

Seems that I heard he got some heat from authorities somewhere for shooting this bear on a Polar Bear license. I don't know the whole story but I think he was able to convince the geniuses that he wasn't a criminal. Imagine, shooting a big white bear on a polar bear license and getting in trouble because it may not be a "pure" polar bear, even though a hybrid has never before been documented.

I think I've read that the polar bear is very similar genetically to the grizz and it evolved over the years. I'm surprised this doesn't happen more often.

Quite a trophy, I'm happy for the hunter.
