DNA Test Confirms Hybrid Bear in the Wild

DNA Test Confirms Hybrid Bear in the Wild

'It will be quite a trophy,' Martell told the National Post last week, even before the DNA results were in. He returned to Yellowknife for another hunt, this time for a grizzly bear. He told the newspaper he has dubbed the creature 'polargrizz'

Stirling said his colleagues have come up with a few names of their own for the hybrid: a 'pizzly' or a 'grolar bear.' One colleague suggested calling it 'nanulak' combining the Inuit names for polar bear - 'nanuk' - and grizzly bear, which is 'aklak.'
