Grolar Bear (or Pizzly)?

Dr. George Divoky suggests that we will see more grolar bears as global warming causes the habitats of grizzly and polar bears to overlap. (Wikipedia even suggests that when the father is a polar bear the hybrid animal is being called a "pizzly".)

Dr. Divoky is research associate, Institute of Arctic Biology, U. of Alaska - Fairbanks.

Russ, if I'm not mistaken, polar bears evolved from brown bears, so this may be considered a reverse (?)evolution or maybe a "revolution"
