Yup! They are called "Pizzly" bears. It is a very unique hybrid, without getting into the "grizzly" details (hehehe) They are one of the few hybrid species that can reproduce! This means grizzly and polar bears are pretty much the same animal in the way a chihuahua and a pitbull are. Very fascinating.

Really? Man, I have to study bear evolution and genetics; that sounds pretty cool.

Yeah it really is fascinating. I spent hours on wikipedia alone and in genetics books. I was studying biology at the same time so that was neat and helped me keep engaged in my learning :D
Do you have a favorite species of bear (living or extinct)? I do!! I like Kodiak bears, which is a variant of the grizzly bear that lives in Alaska. They are the second largest bear I believe? They are cute and differ from a normal brown bear in the shape of its muzzle, and its overall size. I also really like the extinct "cave bear". It sounds like something out of a kids book but a cave bear was a prehistoric bear that dwelled, naturally, in caves. They were like grizzly bears taking steroids. They even had fights with a species of cave lions, which was also just like giant lions, over food and territory.

I happen to find bears very cool, though most people think they're scary and frightening because of their size and how strong they are.
In Montana, the most common bears we have are black and grizzly bears. Glacier Park is a good place to see them, though its rather rare. What's good though is that in some places, a few trails or areas are closed off due to bear activity. It's to prevent people from possibly having a unfortunate encounter with a bear, and it gives them peace from being disturbed.

At the AG center I used to go to, there was this one morning where we were able to see a live black bear. It was in a cage, sedated cause they were gonna release it back into the wild after I believe they were doing studies. I was able to stroke it and I can tell you bear fur is a bit rough and bristly, not soft like most mammals fur.

That is honestly so cool! I wish I could touch a bear! The closest I have come is petting some very large fluffy dogs (lol). That sounds like an amazing experience thank you for sharing!!!

I also found a chart that has different kinds of cave bears if you are interested :-) The one I was referring to is a classical cave bear
