Nature Is Wild

Talking in human terms, we could say that the hybrid daughter mated with her father and her step-father. So, the bear that David found was the grandchild of Bear 10960. Though we might say, it’s okay as they are just animals, still, the scientists believe that it all happened because of the change in the climate.

The Warning!

Because of climate change, polar bears are changing their homes. Polar bears live in the Arctic Circle, Canada, Alaska, Greenland, Norway, and Russia. They hunt in the cold waters and when they are on land, during summer when there is no ice, they don’t eat and survive on their fat reserves.

Grizzly Bears

Grizzly Bears, from the same family of brown bear, live in North America, Europe, and in the northern regions of Asia. Though they have a very vast range of habitats, the bears who live in northern Canada stick to the mainland and don’t roam around on other parts except their territories. But with a rise in temperatures, their way of living is changing and the bears have started to move to other places…

Moving To The North

Grizzly Bears have started moving into the polar territories. Warming summers have more land the ice, and polar spends most of their time on land as there is no ice. Grizzlies are moving north in search of land and land up in the polar bears’ territories. 

Mostly Male

Mostly, it is the male grizzlies that are moving into the territories of polar bears. They move as far as they could to establish territories, but the females mostly stay in one area. Today, the two entirely different species are overlapping in the Canadian Arctic and in Siberia. So, what does this mean for the future of the bears?

Their Unique Habitats

Polar Bears and Grizzly Bears are both highly adapted to their individual surroundings. For example, polar bear feet are covered in fur which helps them walk on the ice, whereas, grizzly bear feet are just padded. Where polar bears have a sleek head which lets them dive in and out of the waters easily, grizzly bears heads are big.
