There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.
Polar bears will have a lot of tough obstacles to cross if they are forced into grizzly country. A completely new diet is just one of those tests. Another is hibernation. Will a polar bear be guided by instinct to hibernate during the long Winter months? And, if so, can a polar bear gain the necessary fat reserve to survive hibernation? If they can pass these tough obstacles, it is likely that in time, there will be unlimited crossbreeding between the polars and the grizzlies resulting in the polar bears becoming basically lost within the genes of the grizzlies.
