This bear should not be confused with the polar bear I “shot” with my camera at the Indianapolis Zoo (see below). This bear is a polar bear/grizzly bear hybrid. From what I understand, the hybrids have been suspected to exist in the wild for some time. Now it’s a fact! Idahoan, big-game hunter Jim Martell paid $45,000 U.S. for a license to kill a polar bear on Banks Island, Northwest Territory, Canada, and this is what he got. Wow, Jim, you’re my hero!

Your link doesn't seem to be working at present. Here's one to the CBC story: Pizzly Grolar Bear
Dale, thanks for letting me know about that link. I think I have the problem solved now.
