Pizzly bear

     This animal is a hybrid of a polar bear and a grizzly bear. It was discovered in 2006 by a hunter in Canada when he killed an animal that had white fur like a polar bear and brown patches, humped back, long claws like a grizzly bear. When he found that the animal was peculiar, a DNA test was done. It was found that it was a hybrid.

     These bears are found in the Arctic as they eat fish and seals like polar bears. They use the same hunting techniques as polar bears. It breaks the ice with its feet and catches food. They are also found in the Northern Territories of Canada. So, they eat small bugs, fruits, flowers, and grass sometimes like a grizzly bear.

     Scientists have developed a theory as to how this animal came into existence. According to that a male polar bear that was hungry and not able to find food wandered into the inland, it mated with a female grizzly bear. When the female bear had babies, it was a hybrid of the two. Scientists feel it is a good thing as polar bears are becoming extinct due to less food. Polar bears eat only fish and seals that are found in the sea ice. Due to global warming, the ice is melting making it hard for polar bears to eat.
     There are a total of eight pizzly bears out of which two were killed by hunters and the rest are in captivity. Out of the eight, four first-generation bears have a 50:50 split of both polar and grizzly bears. As there are very few of these bears, scientists are breeding them in captivity to increase their population. Their target is to create a bear that can easily adapt to climate change.

WHY ATLANTIC AND PACIFIC OCEAN ARE NOT MIXED?

Nearly 72% of the earth is filled with water and it is present with different names- oceans, seas, rivers. Why are they named differently? There are five oceans namely Artic ocean, Atlantic Ocean, Pacific Ocean, Indian ocean and Antarctic ocean . All the oceans are different in their physical and biological character called ocean clines. When we look at the Atlantic and Pacific Ocean junction, they do not mix. Is there any invisible Wall in between them? Many scientists have conducted research to solve this mystery. The Atlantic and Pacific Ocean have different chemical composition. The salinity of the water in the Atlantic Ocean is five times more than the Pacific Ocean. The density of water is also different, so even marine animals in Atlantic Ocean will not go to the Pacific Ocean. They cannot survive in other oceans. Atlantic and Pacific Ocean meet at Cape Horn. The narrow straight line formed by the water bodies is called Drake Strait. The Pacific Ocean is ...
