...their winter dens or vice versa, says Rockwell. Most intriguing of all is the possibility that the two species might interbreed. "These guys only split off evolutionarily about 150,000 years ago, so hybrids are viable," he says. That's no speculation: DNA analysis has proven that a bear shot in 2006 in Canada's Northwest Territories was part-grizzly, part-polar bear; the names "grolar bear" and "pizzly" have been floated in reference to it.
