Are there really creatures unknown to humans in the Arctic? In 2006, an American hunter shot and killed a creature that he thought was a polar bear in the Arctic Circle, but he was wrong, when he walked into the creature, he found that the creature he shot and killed was actually a creature he had never seen before, the incident caused a great sensation in the local area, and scientists invested a lot of effort to investigate the creature, hoping to confirm the variety of the creature, and the variety of this creature also affected the fate of the hunter
Jim Matipone
For you to share those more wonderful than the real story of the movie Hello, I am Yin Hao, today we want to talk about the protagonist of this incident, named Jim Matipong, he lives in the United States in Idaho, the cause is a million yuan household, Jim Matipong's biggest hobby is hunting, from the age of 8 he has tried all kinds of hunting under the leadership of his parents, and his biggest ideal in life is to be able to hunt a polar bear, but because hunting polar bears in the United States is illegal, So Jim Matipone didn't realize this ideal until he was 65 years old
Banks Island
The place we are seeing now is Banks Island, one of the Canadian Arctic Archipelagos, covering an area of about 70,000 square kilometers, inhabited by Arctic foxes, polar bears, Reindeer, wolves and many birds, and on the island lives a people named Inuvik, whose appearance is very similar to China, and who are presumably descendants of the Mongols, whose ancestors have lived on Banks Island for thousands of years. Generations have lived by hunting
Inuvik people
The Inuvik are allowed to sell 14 Arctic hunting trips a year, the so-called Arctic hunting trips, in which the Inuviks can take a tourist to shoot a polar bear in the Arctic Circle. This service fully satisfied Jim Matipone's ideal of hunting polar bears, so in 2006, Jim Matipone booked an Arctic hunting trip with Inuvik and arrived at Banks Island on April 13, where he first paid the Inuvik people twenty-five thousand US dollars, equivalent to more than 200,000 yuan, which was also arranged by the Inuvik people for Jim Matipen in 2006
Roger Captana
The picture shows a tour guide named Jim Matipone, named Roger Kapttana, who led Jim Matipone to buy a hunting permit for $50 from the local government, and then the two of them set off in a Santa-like dog cart after careful planning, Jim Matipone was very excited at first, but shortly after the departure, Jim Matipone found that the trip was far more difficult than he expected, they were almost always on the road except for eating and sleeping, and they were blown by the Arctic wind. At the same time, because the polar bear is the only kind of bear that will deliberately target humans, the two people not only have to endure the cold every day, but also fear of being killed by the polar bear, the two people tossed in the cold and trepidation for three days, not a polar bear was found, until the fourth morning the two finally had an unexpected discovery
Camping in an open tent
It was about 5 o'clock in the morning, Jim Matipen was sleeping in the tent, Roger Kaputana got up early to observe the terrain, and as a result, Roger Kaputana found that there were polar bears under the mountain north of them, so he quickly ran back to the tent to wake up Jim Matipen, and after the two of them put all the clothes they could wear in the tent, they picked up their shotguns and walked toward the target, about 300 meters from the target, the two stopped, and then found cover and pointed their guns at the polar bear's brain, although the temperature was tens of degrees below zero But Jim still shot the polar bear in the abdomen, Roger Kwa Jim shot it very cool, Jim also felt that this shot hit a new height in his life, after all, the number of people who can hunt polar bears is a real minority
Jim Matipone shoots
After the two people knocked down the polar bear, they excitedly approached the back bear, when the two walked to 50 meters away from the "bear corpse", Roger stopped Jim to let him cover with a gun, he himself went forward to see if the polar bear was dead, so as to avoid the two people being killed by the polar bear's blood, after confirming that the bear was indeed dead, but Roger felt that the polar bear looked very strange, the polar bear's back had a bulge, the head felt larger than the normal polar bear, and there were dark circles
Jim Matipone and Bear
However, the two did not think much about it, thinking that it might be the polar bear who loved to stay up late, so the two took a photo with the polar bear and began to deal with the polar bear, Jim Matipen asked to take the bear's head and bear skin for his own home, and in addition to this, Roger Kaputana also cut off some parts that need to be tested later, and then the two packed their bags and returned to the town, but what they did not expect was that what awaited them next would be prison
Roger Capttana who handles polar bears
After Jim Matipone returned to town, according to local regulations, he sent his hunted polar bear to the examination room to prove that the animal he hunted was indeed a polar bear, not an Arctic donkey, a polar cat, an arctic turtle, an arctic rabbit, etc., but when the local investigators tested the prey, he found that this bear did not look like a polar bear, because many of the physical characteristics did not match the polar bear
Inspectors
So the investigators called Jim Matipone to the office, asked him about a series of incidents, and the local investigator also sent the suspected polar bear to the laboratory for DNA testing, because Jim Matipone reported a polar bear, so the inspector directly compared the DNA of the prey with the DNA of the polar bear, and found that it was not right
So the local government directly prosecuted Jim Matipen and Roger Kaputana for illegal hunting, if convicted, the two will be fined $1,000, confiscated the hunted prey, and will also leave a case of illegal hunting, which makes Jim Matipen feel pain in the head, but in order to fully convict, it must also be confirmed what kind of creature the suspected polar bear is.
Investigators were divided into three routes
The first team of centaurs was responsible for comparing the DNA of the creature with that of other creatures
The second team of men and horses were responsible for restoring the remains of the suspected polar bear' body.
The third team is responsible for the interrogation and investigation of Jim Matipen and Roger Captana,
The inspector measures bear skins
At first, the third team judged based on the clues and photos provided by Jim Matipen and Roger Captanna, that this suspected polar bear was most likely a North American grizzly bear, because someone had photographed a brown bear with golden and silver hair in the wild, which was very similar to the coat color of the bear that Jim Matipone shot, and according to Roger Captanna's description, he had opened his stomach when dealing with this suspected polar bear, and it turned out that the stomach of this suspected polar bear had the remains of a seal and the remains of a ground squirrel. Seals are a common food for polar bears, but ground squirrels are not, and ground squirrels are a common dish for grizzly bears in North America
Ground squirrels
So the DNA comparison team first compared the DNA of this suspected arctic bear with the DNA of the North American grizzly bear, and found that the DNA of the two bears was not exactly similar, and because the North American grizzly bear usually woke up from hibernation around May 10th. The hunt took place on April 16, when the grizzly bear was supposed to be in hibernation, so the possibility of the grizzly bear was completely ruled out
brown bear
After investigation, both the recovery team and the DNA comparison team believed that the suspected arctic bear was most likely a new species of ship that humans had never seen before. Because first of all, this bear's palm is very peculiar, there are large meat pads in front of his bear paws, and there are also large meat spots behind the big meat pads, and in the middle is a piece of palm hair, which is almost no such palm in the bears known to humans.
The Arctic is suspected of being a bear's paw
In addition, the DNA team compared the DNA of this suspected polar bear with the DNA of all possible animals, what big brown bear, American black bear, spectacled bear, Asian black bear, Malay bear, Indian bear, sloth bear, polar bear, all compared a circle, the results also found that there was no match, so the investigators were surprised and surprised and even a little expected, this is likely to be the discovery of unknown new species in the Arctic Circle?
The Arctic is suspected of being a bear
When the recovery team restored the remains of the suspected arctic bear, it was found that many of the suspected physical features of the arctic seemed to be a combination of the polar bear and the American black bear, for example, the claw finger of the polar bear was characterized by thick and short and pointed, which was conducive to generating greater friction on the ice, and the claw fingers of the North American grizzly bear were long and curved, which was more convenient for digging holes or preying, and the claw fingers of the arctic suspected bear seemed to be completely integrated with the characteristics of this bear, so the restoration team put forward a very creative inference based on the above characteristics
The arctic is suspected of being a bear's paw
Is it possible that this polar suspected bear is a polar bear and an American grizzly bear, two bears because of love, across the species, across the distance, across the class, abandoning the worldly vision, breaking through the frontier of the breed, opening the skylight of the soul, pursuing different poems and far away, the blunt point is that the two bears you have feelings, I intentionally, turn off the lights Oh I go, the whole one of this bear ？ ？
After listening to this inference, although we wanted to laugh but still held back, because in history there have been many records of crystallization across species, for example, in the middle and late nineteenth century, there was a period of animal innovation boom, when many biologists in the world, in order to pursue sensational effects, often engaged in some sensational animal hybridization experiments, what horses and zebras matched, tigers and lions matched, mountain lions and leopards matched, rainy days and chocolate matching, only humans can not think, no they are not worthy, In this series of animal matches, it is indeed a lot of novelty products, among which in 1874, German biologists matched polar bears with North American brown bears, and also successfully matched a hybrid bear, which also proves that these two bears do have this ability, but the above animal match experiments are all successful under human intervention, and this kind of thing has never occurred in nature
Sci-fi illustrations that set off the atmosphere
So if Jim Matipone really shot a hybrid bear, then there is only one possibility that there is a strange scientist in northern Canada, at home for some purpose, the North American black bear and the polar bear were matched, with this bear, and then the bear happened to run out of the strange scientist's home, and then happened to be shot by the title Ofippen, although this inference is a bit ridiculous, but the investigators first sea lions in the local area to conduct door-to-door investigations to see if there are any strange scientists, Unsurprisingly, not after that
At this time, the DNA testing team has a new breakthrough. After going through the genetic code of amplified DNA, they found that this polar suspected bear was a hybrid bear, and his mother was a polar bear, and his father was a North American grizzly bear, so the next question was whether the production process of this bear was done naturally in nature or under human intervention?
In order to figure out the answer to this question, the investigators investigated the biological habits of polar bears and American grizzly bears, and at first the investigators did not think that the production process of the suspected polar bear was done in nature, because the two bears lived in a very distant range, and the polar bear hated the American grizzly bear, as soon as the African grizzly bear appeared or the polar bear smelled the American grizzly bear, it was immediately avoided, but after a period of investigation by the investigators, there was an unexpected discovery
They first selected some female polar bears and male North American grizzly bears, for them to bring a positioning coil, monitor their range of activities, the results of the investigators found that the polar bears almost will not leave Banks Island, but the North American grizzly bears especially like to pursue poetry and distance, and even sometimes as long as the time is enough, the grizzly bear can walk tens of thousands of meters, which fully proves that the grizzly bear is likely to appear in the polar bear territory, in addition, the polar bear match does not rely on charm, but on strength, usually male bears have a certain compulsion when matching, With a roar of fright, the female polar bear gave in
Bojevana
And an explorer named Poyevana introduced that he had found a very unique phenomenon, he had found at the northern end of Victoria Island, a female polar bear with two cubs in front of the road, behind a American black bear rushed up, Kaka Ka ka
So according to the above clues, it is very likely that the whole event is that the North American grizzly bear has traveled a long distance to various hisils, and as a result, he found the female polar bear who has always been white and beautiful, and then out of the animal instinct, he came to a boiling pot like a drill, and then boiled out a healthy cub, this bear grew and grew strong for 6 years without everyone knowing, until April 16, 2006, jim Mattipone gave it to the BIA
Hybrid bears
After figuring out the incident, the local government determined that Jim Matipone was innocent, on the grounds that half of the hybrid bears were polar bears, that is, polar bears, although the hybrid bears are unique but can not be regarded as new breeds, the new breed must be at least two, and can breed,
Jim Matipone and bear specimens
Jim Matipen brought the skin and head of the hybrid bear back to China after withdrawing the complaint, and then various magazines and newspapers, on the screen, the old man was happy, not only realized the ideal of life, but also became the world's first person to hunt hybrid bears, in addition to local investigators in Canada also believe that the hybrid bear may not be only because the polar bear generally gives birth to two or three, the former so-called silver grizzly bear may also be a hybrid. This discovery has also allowed human beings to re-examine the relationship between polar bears and North American grizzly bears, and everyone is welcome to publish their own views and opinions on this event in the form of comments
