Comment on Polar bears

Fun fact: Grizzlies and Polar Bears are the same species according to the Biological Species Concept.

Meaning they interbreed in the wild (somewhat rare), and produce viable offspring that can have babies as well.

We’re actually noticing this happening more and more with climate change. As Grizzly populations move further and further north, they’re encountering polar bears more often and are more likely to mate.
