"Earth's largest land predators are increasingly crossing paths with brown
bears at higher latitudes, bringing hybrid 'brolar bears' into the Arctic.
In 2006, a hunter in the Canadian Arctic shot a bear that didn't look like the
others. DNA testing would later confirm the animal was actually part grizzly,
part polar bear.
In the years since, 'pizzlies' or 'brolar bears' have popped up more and more
in North America, and now researchers in Siberia are warning the same could
happen elsewhere in the icy north."
