A 2nd generation 'pizzly bear'

According to CBC News, biologists in the Northwest Territories say genetic testing has confirmed that the unusual-looking bear shot on the sea ice April 8 near the Arctic community of Ulukhaktok was indeed a rare grizzly-polar bear hybrid.

The hunter who shot the bear has put up the pelt for sale to the highest bidder, and the price is up to $15,000 already. Read more, here.
