You're right, it was in the Northwest Territory in Canada. I'm re-reading the article now. The bear was shot in 2006, but the DNA testing just came back this week (showing that the bear was a hybrid).
They should cut the hunter a break.....how could he have known the bear was a hybrid? Especially if the bear was in grizzly habitat.
I believe the bear was shot in Canada. The hunter was hunting in grizzly bear territory with a valid grizzly bear permit and he shot what appeared to be a light colored grizzly bear (with the hump which polar bears do not have). Canadian wildlife officials thought the bear looked a little odd and decided to investigate. They suspected the bear might have been a grizzly/polar bear cross -- something either extremely rare or never seen before depending on who is asked --but at last report couldn't say for sure. However, they were determined to find out and if they could prove the bear a cross they were going to prosecute the poor hunter because he didn't have a 'permit for a polar bear'. Talk about government out of control.
Are bears over-sized rodents? Is that what a bear is (more or less)?
Speaking of bears, a hunter in Alaska recently shot a strange cream-colored bear, which (after DNA testing) turned out to be a Polar/Grizzly hybrid. It's father was a grizzly and its mother was a polar bear. Pretty cool.

"a rare rodent that has come to be in high demand among fashionista set; or as one resident describes them: "the self-absorbed, superficial, stupid set."
Truly laughing at loud right now...
LMAO. That tops it, ckb.
Strange Animal Haunts Small Town
(AP) A jogger on a trail in Ballston Spa, NY yesterday noticed a stick in the ground shaped like a cross marking a small grave. However, upon closer inspection, he noticed that there was a hole in front of the cross and that whatever had been laid to rest there had either been dug up or had crawled out.
A witness later called police and said he saw a small furry animal creeping along the side of the road, looking "all decomposed and some-such."
"It looked like a bird, but with a tail and snout and not much hair," said Jim Bongtegue, of 9 Miller Drive in Ballston Spa.
Another woman later called police saying there was an animal trying to eat through the screen door of her porch.
"I've never seen anything like it. It was angry, tattered and looked like it shouldn't even be alive."
Meanwhile, a local couple is being lampooned in this small New York village for having lavishly spent $3000 for an exotic Paraguayan hamster -- a rare rodent that has come to be in high demand among fashionista set; or as one resident describes them: "the self-absorbed, superficial, stupid set."
The couple, who wished to remain nameless, said it'd been a dream for years to own one of these rare breeds and with it "enter into the cordons of high-class rare-pet specimen society."
"They're the most incredible -- yet intellectual and frolicky -- little bundle of joys," the husband said. "We've been on a waiting list for about three years for one."
Was it too high a price to pay, especially in this economy?
"No price is too high for a Paraguayan hamster," Chris said. "Especially a homosexual one, which we believe this one is. He's displaying the tendencies already."
According to pet experts, Paraguayan hamsters must live alone with no other pets in the house.
Chris said they had a "normal, regular, everyday" Hamster previously but that it succumbed to a "hugely untimely and unfortunate little death."
A neighbor claims the previously hamster was "put aside" to make way for the new one, and that it probably wasn't even dead.
"They're crazy," the anonymous woman said. "$3000 for a hamster? A gay hamster? They're probably sodomizing it right now. They should be in jail."
Damn...I want to go to bed. I really do. But...I think I will find out if Snarf was technically a Thunder Cat first.
Arrrrr!
I called chris up at 3 in the morning wondering the same thing.
He said we will all find out after a press conference that will be held by a lady called Brigitte Boisselier, bishop of the Raelians.
In other news, I have poison ivy absolutely devouring my right arm. Think 45 minutes into the Fly with Jeff Goldblum. That's my right arm. Oh the itch. I have urges to dip it into a volcano. Or a boiling vat of lemon rice soup.
My right arm is rather pathetic. I think I've mentioned this before, but when I play ping pong it curls up into into this useless dead goosefoot.
My brothers get a kick out of it.
Who has legal rights to Hamlette's frozen eggs?
no need for the wheel, we're all already running on one....
I begs the ball.
I got dibs on the hamster food.
i deleted the link.
and yes i'm managing hammy's estate and will. she left a cage, a ball, a hut, a log, a hamster wheel, hamster food, hamster bedding, etc. all will go ebay to the highest bidder. autographed. or maybe just in the basement.
nah arthur didn't understand it. the three of us went out for a walk on the trail and for him it was another walk. except when no one was around we dug a plot and buried hammy near a big tree and put up the traditional signage and had a moment's silence.
lol...thats funny stuff...better then my Dr. Daniels stuff.
Hey Chris, did Lil' Art have any understanding about what happened to Hamlette? Is Art saying any words?
My wife will be working afternoons. That means, after I get home, I will be the Mom. It's that exact thought that induced a panic attack so severe I had my buddy call an ambulance.
Yeah, the information revolution has changed things. It used to be as a teacher you got ripped on via bathroom stall. Now you're the subject of amateur late night tv shows on youtube. I have ignored that stuff, as so far its been pretty benign.
After thinking about it, I think we should erase the link to it over here on binza. No need for it to come up on a search engine, leading potential students over here to my hide out.
Chris, are you handling Hamlette's estate? You don't anticipate any problems with it, do you?
We are the world....
I'm wearing a white rhinestone glitter glove.
all proceeds to go to disinterring hammy from her plot dug on the walking trail outside our house with a fireplace shovel and constructing a mausoleum around her with her life's achievements. Sort a like that michigan politico.
Hamlette tribute concert set for Thursday - Staples Center.
Streetgang, yeah the rap video is still on youtube. I see it now. They have you rapping at the end of the song......pretty funny.
Sorry to hear about the hamster, CKB. If you get 2 years out of a hamster, you're pretty lucky, I suspect.
Streetgang, are the kids in this video ripping on you? I suspect they are. Fast-forward to 3:58.

Hamlette: Gone but not forgotten. RIP.
"What do you have, less than 2 months, right?"
LOL...great Sheebs...it's kicking in again!!!!!!!!
Yup...less then two months!
uh, clarification: Less than 2 months meant DUE DATE, not Life Expectancy...ha ha.
I offered my condolences on FB - but again, I'm sorry about your loss, you do have some funny memories with Hamlette! The rolling ball - I remember my kids watching that video last year and just giggling. They wanted to get Coconut and Smokey a ball too, but Guinea Pigs have bad backs (whatevah) and can't contort like a hamster can...And the SAGA that was Hammy Escaping and then being LURED back to the bucked - LOL. Good times. And you've documented them with photos, so you'll always have them. When I think back over the pets we had growing up...good gracious, 2 cats (normal), 4 ducks (hmmmm, ok), 2 guinea fowl (not quite like a dog), a GOAT (Mom got rid of it b/c it ate all her flowers in Islamabad)...am I forgetting anything? There was talk one year of letting us get a dik dik...
Chuck, OMJ had to go to the ER just before our 2nd kid was born - he was having anxiety/stress and was seriously thinking he was having a heart attack. Welcome to Fatherhood!! But glad you're feeling better. What do you have, less than 2 months, right?
ok...even though i'm still lol-ing at my own joke a bit....i swear I fired it off in seconds....sorry. not cool. a pet is a pet.

Is it true that Dr. Daniels actually found the poor thing?
