- Although polar bears and grizzly bears aren't all that similar and are definitely separate species, they can interbreed and create fertile offspring in the wild. Hank brings us the story of these misfit bears, which he likes to call grolar bears.

I read "The Majestic Granola Bar". Why am I not wearing my glasses?
Rofl
Ah yes
beware of strangers
Yesssss🎉
bipolar bear
ok...
Was that worth your time to type?
No
I hate being bipolar... Its so awesome

i think grolar bear works just fine, it paints the image of what it is in a way that anybody can understand effortlessly
Pizzly lmao
I actually read a book where the main characters were bears, the main characters once met a mixed bear of polar and brown and his name was nanulak, I never knew where his name came from. the scishow
*thx scishow*
+Taylor Herfurth OH GOD I THINK I READ THE SAME THING. THE END IS NIGH!!!
Wasn't that the Seekers series by Erin Hunter?
+Abigail Thomas yes, it is.
+Taylor Herfurth Seekers!!!
Anyone bother to ask his name before they shot him? He might be called Steve.
😂😂😂you're right
His name is GORAK!

Pizzly Bear sounds like a really bad rapper
LMFAO 😆😜 😂😅😂 🤣🤯🤕😇!!!

Change it to Pizzy Bear sounds better

Grolar? Pizzly? Nanulak?? Wtf is this? Pokèmon?
well if you go by game theory...than maybe
Nanulak is actually a pretty cool word, but grolar bear sounds easier to remember.
why are people shooting polar bears in the first place? wtf
derek du Because despite what American news stations tell you, there are tons of them and they like to wander into villages
derek du I'm guessing the dude paid to be able to shoot any bear that wandered to close to a town/village like SliC3oFicE said but there isn't "tons" of them just lots of these villages lay along their migration route so there's lots of them at certain times of the year like Churchill, Manitoba. All the polar bears will wait along the peninsula Churchill lays on in October and early November for the ice to freeze over so they can go get them tasty seals they love so much :P That's why it might seem like there's "tons of them" but in Churchill they got a polar bear jail, if a polar bear wanders into town they tranquilize it and keep it in "jail" till the ice freezes over so they can release them to go hunt :P You're not allowed to shoot them
SliC3oFicE Tons of them are not wandering into villages. Villages are the ones standing in their way.
limafilho27 The villages were there before the polar bears were. Didn't you watch the video? The polar bears have been migrating further south into territory that they never previously occupied. Territory that was previously dominated by grizzlies and thus resulting in interbreeding.
derek du The answer to your question is twofold:
First, Polar bears migrating into new territory is actually very environmentally disruptive. You've heard of the food chain right? Well each respective natural habitat has one but now, because of climate change, some habitats are having an entirely new link added to them. And polar bears are exclusively carnivorous whereas other bears are omnivorous. Grizzlies for example will hunt but they are also known to eat seeds, berries, and roots. Polars only eat meat so adding a completely new apex predator to the mix throws thing out of balance. And wild Grolars is an even bigger problem because it is adding a second new predator to the mix! Grolars, from my understanding, have diets similar to Polar bears rather than Grizzlies. To put this in perspective, if you're from America you've probably heard that there are no snakes in Hawaii? Well that is true. And locals and custom officials take great care to ensure that doesn't change because if snakes were to be introduced to the island they would have no natural predators. Basically, the unnatural introduction of one animal that doesn't belong in a certain area could spell local environmental disaster.
Second, SliC3oFicE is right. Polar bears migrating further south have been known to wander close to villages and towns. They are particularly aggressive as well. So hunting licenses are occasionally issued to target specific individuals. So you don't have people that are licensed to hunt the Polars en masse. You can request one if it has been spotted close to human settlements and that license is good for one kill only.
I would call it, Death. It's the offspring of a polar bear and grizzly bear 😳
Jack Parker munch munch
This species would relatively try to avoid humans, unless they get very hungry, in which case they wouldn’t have a problem eating a human. Other animals that these types of bears eat are definitely an easy snack for this species. All in all, a polar bear plus a grizzly bear is a beastly hybrid
The unholy offspring of lightning and DEATH ITSEL- sorry wrong movie
Jack Parker kinda a stupid name for an animal...
@@pain002 nice one!
Nanulak all the way. It sounds awesome.
then if you have a male polar bear mate with a grolar bear (male grizzly/female polar offspring) you'd get a pizrolar bear? and the male grolar + female grizzly grolarly. male polar + female pizzly = popizzly and male pizzly + female polar = pizzlyar (which sounds kinda piratey)
+richard reeves I like the way you think.
+richard reeves i tried to read through and finally lost it at popizzly lol
u look like u fight bears champ
Rotfl
***** He was also poisoned and stabbed and drunk when they shot him. oh, and the river they threw him in was freezing cold.
grolar bear! grolar sounds like it could be a Pokemon XD
Grolar! I choose you!
I think Nanulak is a better term
eh...please beware of strangers, I nag strangers because of seeing horrible news media (eh = your surname makes me wary, plis no hurt mi, I really do just nag strangers as a reminder)
Noone asked you
pizzly bear just sounds adorable
It sounds like it smells like piss.
Furyflame2 Well it probably does... I mean grizzlies sleep in a cave for serveral months...
Yep. Until it attack you.
@@novastar3990 😝😅🤣!!!
A cross between a grizzly and a polar bear sounds scary.
Thank you for continually being awesome, SciShow!
my vote goes for nanulak
Billbo Baggins if this becomes more common and these species merge due to a combined habitat, I also vote for this name
Nanulak, or the nanulak bear
Polar bear + grizzly bear. That’s a badass combination
I like the name Grolar Bear but actually Nanulak sounds really cool. I think that gives the hybrid its own character.
Good thinking.
I like nanulak, that sounds best to me.
It's a Polar brOWN bear so it's an Pown Bear and it indeed would pown you
Proof that at least one person still said "pown" in 2015.
@@oswaldsweezlebogger6826 Well it was technically pwn back in the day.
@@oswaldsweezlebogger6826 HAHHAHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Pownar bear
Pown Bear sounds like Pooh Bear's cooler adult cousin.
Perhaps this inter-species mating is evolution's answer to our climate change problem. The next era for the arctic and sub arctic is the Era of The Grolar.
Assuming selfish human hunters don't cut it short.
Wasn’t it global warming a few years ago? What changed?
So did he get fined in the end?
@mmm i see. i dont really what ur sayin the people who make hunters pay fines really have a sense of humor
I love this bear, is wonderful.
Grolar/Nanulak is the best bear for my heart.
The fact that grolar bears exist makes me really happy :') I love bears!!
Bob, name it bob. This is the truth.
Nanulak sounds pretty cool, if less descriptive.
Also, portmanteau is a word.
I did not know that.
Multifaceted learning! Woo!
Grolar (Gros lard) Insult to fat people.
Portmanteau (Porte-manteau) coat rack.
I like nanulak, though it is very difficult to spell
So it's a bi-polar bear.
hahahah good one 😂
Catherine Holland winner
Dude 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
It's a Granular Bear! (Gr)izzly + N(anul)ak + Pol(ar) = Granular :)
Anul lol
Grolar bear sounds cool
Grolar bears are love, Grolar bears are life. Plus, they sound cooler.
"Getting along pretty well, if you know what I mean!", And by that I mean they were having intercourse.
This has to be Stephen Colbert's biggest nightmare. I'd like to think these bears have super powers too.
I was reading a great book on evolution called tree thinking and it brought up the fact that some brown bears in Alaska are more polar than brown bear in some islands. Needless to say I needed to know if scissor could give more info. I love bears
The only bear to be the front man for the Fu fighters. The Dave Grolar Bear.

Dr. Weird from Aqua Team Hunger Force: Behold! The Grolar Bear!
Nanulak because I think it sounds more kickass.
Nanulak sounds very much like a new rase, imma vote for that one xD
You have me very curious now as to the whole different species being able to breed. Could you make a show addressing that please? Thank you!
I like "pizzley" bear.
+devourerofbabies Kina sounds like Pissy bear though.=/
The orange hero
Why else would I like it?
XD
I thought this was going to be a video of a bear with the "Help the Grizzly Bear" freestyle.
Nanulak sounds like a pokemon, I'm going with grolar bear
I prefer the name Grizzlar Bear.
I think we should call them grolar/pizzly for now, but if things change and it becomes it’s own new species that replaces polars, they should be called the Inuit word.
Nanulak sounds cool
Oh please, don't use the word "designed" when talking about species' features. Use "adapted"
Yes! Hank, creationists are confused enough -- we need to use evolutionary, not theistic terms!
I keep trying with the dog when the wife's not putting out. I'll pay more attention to the mutt around spring. Thanks sci show.
It's Man-Bear-Pig!!!!!!!!
AWWW SHIT!
ROFL
Cereal?
I've never heard these called Grolar bears, just Pizzly bear.
nordhorny
Often, the crossing of species, where possible, is only doable with a male of species a and female of species b. And, changing a and b around may yield no result.
For instance a Liger can only be made with a Lion and a Tigress. Won't work with a Lioness and a Tiger though.
Hybrids like this are often sterile (very difficult for them to reproduce). Meaning Two Ligers, can't have another Liger. If we wanted another Liger. We would have to go back to how we got the first one.
nordhorny
I just realized I replied to you when i meant to reply to "TheWhiteNinja"...got name confused, lol.
Everything I've found says that the polar and grizzly only split a few hundred thousand years ago
Pozzly Bear sounds better than Pizzly Bear.
Surprised you haven't stirred up any possy
Didnt even show the bear
"Getting along pretty well, if you know what I mean" hahaha
Pizzy bear... just yea; just yea
I like nanulak
If it was up to me I'd call it (the) Great Bear, two of the largest bears on the planet's hybrid has gotta be pretty big.
it was one of a kind animal and.. he killed it
We call that extinction
There's more than one.
Vegeta it's so cute, can we keep it?!
God damnit nappa...fine
This video was published on my birthday 2013! Now it's 2016! Also, they should be called grolar bears, because it just sounds the best.
The Inuit name should be used.
Nanulak +1
nanulak sounds badass!!!
white chocolate thunder!!
Grolar bear sounds way better!
Gloar bear ok with me
grolar bear definitely pizzly sounds like a hiker whizzed on it while the bear was hibernating
I vote nanulak
Grizzlar bear
Commenting on what you said at 3:19, I'd love to say that this video didn't make me want to be smarter, it only made me want to try to interbreed with something from other species
1:42 Don't Asians, Mexicans, and Europeans have different morphologies, social behaviors, feeding behaviors, and metabolisms; are they different "species". I guess "species" is a pretty arbitrary distinction.
There are some differences in those things, but they are not large enough differences to make separate species. And the differences *within* each race are actually larger than the average difference *between* different races (we "see" race because of the *directionality* of those differences - and even that can be very iffy). So "race" ends up being much more a human construct than anything that has any scientific meaning.
I think “Nanulak” definitely sounds like a better term than a “grolar bear” or “pizzly bear”
Grolar bear works. Pizzly bear makes me think of a stuffed animal youd see during valentines day
If Nanulak was an actual Inuit word for polar/grizzly hybrids, then I'd probably support it (and I say 'an' because there are many different Inuit languages, it's like calling French 'Europese').
But seeing as it's a mashup either way, I'm going for Grolar bear and Pizzly bear, depending on parentage, with 'Grolar Bear' being the default.
NANULAK, IF THEY ARE NAMED IN A CULTURE, IT JUST SEEMS FAIR TO USE THAT NAME oops, didn't mean to shout, sorry.
Pretty cool. Just read the seeker series and there was a brown and white bear. Even weirder was that the character was actually named Nanuluk.
so... this guy saw this grolar bear, has a bit of a doubt in his mind that it is indeed a polar bear, but still shoots the poor thing! something that also makes me feel like this is such a shame is that if he hadn't shot the animal and it was proven that it was a grolar bear it probably would have been tranquillised and sent to a lab. it would be so interesting to see these animals in their natural habitats. and something else that i think is a shame, is that anyone was given a license to shoot a polar bear!
He shot it before realizing that it 'was a bit off'.
Isn't it pronounced, 'Neesh' not 'Nitch' ?
Depends where you're from.

Ben Clay what if goldfish could talk?hm? have you ever thought about that?If you haven't, well then you better.Don't stop till you get enough!
Ben Clay LMFAO you mad bro? You wrote me a book and guess what? TL;DR. Typos do not properly evaluate intellect. Stop being so butthurt.
Moon Maiden
Sorry, but markonom, as much as I liked your comment, i don't understand. Care to elaborate - I do love having meaningful conversations. :)
Now to Moon Maiden.
Well, for a start, sis, I am not related to you. Then, I did not write you a book - I simply expressed my opinion in more than two sentences. Does this upset you? Then, your main point - typos don't evaluate intellect. Indeed, this is true, and would be a clinching point in your arguement, had it actually been relevant. Unfortunately, I never said either that you were stupid or that the typos were insulting your intellect. I merely pointed out that it was ironic. So, that kind of fell flat, didn't it? And, as you ignored all the points I made that you clearly had no answers for, we come to the last sentence. An insult (probably). I'm not really sure what this is trying to imply... I can guess if you like, or would you want to clarify? Though, to be honest, I think that your lack of motivation to read everything I wrote you is the most hurtful thing you've done so far.
I'm Surprised Hank was able to say "pizzly bear" with a straight face
So where are the dam photos of the bear you are yammering about ???
Nation Geographic News has an article on it.
Now saying to myself why don't he just shut up and show us da dam grolar
check 0:40 !!
the reason why DangerDolan and Buzzfeed are entertaining and successful is because theyre short, on point, only there to share the audio visual info and not to show off their selves or presentation skills. Reason why teachers use visual aids as much as they can is because they know they would be MEGA boring if they kept "yammering" about the subject with only their face on display!
Anyone else irritated by ni-tch, as opposed to nee-sh?
Pizzly is adorable
Uhm... Don't use "pizzly" bear...
In older vernacular, "pizzle" is a term referring to urine/pee/etc. My grandmother's mother was often heard to say if you didn't behave she was going to knock you "pizzle end upward". In other words... Yeah I think you probably get what it means "in other words."
So we'll just go with the less obscene terms of grolar bear or that nanulak one. Either is something I would be comfortable using in mixed company. They may have less going in shock value but then some of us prefer to be taken seriously and not confused with tweeners trapped in an adult's body. =1
Pozzly bear would probably be my favorite way to name this hybrid. Pozzly..... fun word to say :)
Ok but can a grolar bear and a grolar bear mate to make more grolar bears? Can we define species as animals that can mate and produce fertile offspring that can then produce fertile offspring with each other?
In this case, a grolar bear would then be classified as a hybrid rather than a distinct species because grolar bears cannot create fertile offspring with other grolar bears, EVEN THOUGH grolar bears may be able to produce fertile offspring with either a grizzly or polar bear.
So do grolar bears half dissolve when put into water?
Pizzly bear... *snickers*
Yeah I’m definitely 12.
Polar bears and Grizzlies are a lot more closely related than you say, the evolutionary separation happened only about 100,000 years ago, when certain grizzlies recognized that there was an un-tapped food source in the Arctic- seals.
Evolution + climate change = overlapping range interspecies lovin' ❤
Thank you for covering all the seriousness with good humor, SciShow!
Grizzly bears and polar bears,5 million years apart.Yet,they can mate like Winter Whites and Campbell's and succesfully give birth to live offspring.
I read these species diverged 150,000 years ago not 4 or 5 million years ago actually.
Look look I don't care where they are breeding or why! I'm only concerned with one thing:
Are they delicious?
+vjm3 Not really, no. Its fatty at first, and then just straight muscle.
Grolar bear because THATS FRICKIN AWESOME SOUNDING
Pizzly bear, it just sounds kind of like the weirdness that was just discussed. :)
Are there other examples where animals of different species breed successfully?
Red wolf and coyote
I showed this to my science teacher, and I threw her whole reasoning out the window.
How many " Confirmed" Prizzly/Grolar Bear Sighting have there been since this episode came out. I'm doing a project on Climate Change's effect on the Polar bear population and would like to use this information.
I think Grolar bear sounds unique and like it as well because it's suits the bear
And I thought it was a bear that was made up for the game app, Deer Hunter.😂 Sweet!
Fun fact : in french, "grolar" sounds like "gros lard", which is a colorful way to call someone fat ("gros" meaning large/fat and "lard" meaning bacon)...
"Grolar bear" what a majestic name!
