I’m not sure if anyone is aware but POLAR bears and GRIZZLY bears are now having babies together.
I’m a HUGE fan of heterosis so I say bring on the hybrids! Actually I’m not so sure this is hybrid vigour in the true sense – these may just end up being the mules of the bear world but who am I to stand in the way of love?

Now people are trying to come up with a name for the bear.

Here are the suggestions so far:

1. Pizzly – excuse me? Pizzly? That sounds like a word my son would use for URINE. Yes I know it’s mixing the words together and my how original but PIZZLY? We’re talking about a huge white bear mating with a huge brown grizzly one and all you can come up with is wee-wee?

2. Grolar – No. Just no. All I can think of is granola and that doesn’t really sound so tough. I guess you could take some granola with you while on a camping trip you’ve organised in the faint hope of seeing one of these bears….

3. Nanulak – I can see this one working but I’m sure there is something better.

People..DID NOBODY EVEN THINK TO CONSULT ME? Here are my suggestions:

1. Mule bear – self-explanatory, really
2. RUN!
3. Grizzly-Polar Bear – I mean was that really so hard?
4. Polar-Grizzly Bear – depending on who was the father. Have to be PC and all.
5. The bear from LOST.
6. Identity crisis Bear. He is so going to be teased at bear school.

Any other ideas?
