Weird and Wonderful Animal Hybrids You’ve Never Heard Of

4. Grolar Bear

Also known as a pizzly bear, a polizzly, or even a nanaluk (the Inuit names for both a polar bear (nanuk) and a grizzly bear (aklak)), the grolar bear is a rare, but naturally occurring hybrid of a polar bear and a grizzly. In spite of the fact that these two species typically avoid each other (and even breed in different environments), this hybrid has begun to show up more commonly, possibly as a result of polar bears being driven southward by melting ice caps.
