More and more polar bears are robbed of their daughters-in-law by grizzly bears, and the reason behind the scenes is sad...
Since 2006, hunters in the Arctic Circle have seen such strange bears, covered in white hair, and the claws are indeed brown bears.
Or this one in Nunavut, Canada.
At first glance, it is a polar bear, if you look closely, its face plate is larger than the polar bear, its facial features are more like a grizzly bear, the coat color is not pure, and the bear paw is still brown.
Is it a white bear, or a grizzly bear, or a relatively white-looking grizzly bear? Even the old hunter was confused.
