I am no "nature nazi" but was there a point to this hunt ...

[fairybasslet]

I get like that, sometimes....

Didn't you reproduce already? Hey did you get my PM?

 

[sprange]

good point, actually... but if it is legal to kill the bear, then... i would assume
that means there's enough of them?

btw, this thing is a hybrid between a polar bear (bad *** mother-ffffff) and
a grizzly bear (crazy bad *** mother-ffffff).

also, it can't reproduce, so it's probalby pissed off all the time

Previous reports indicate that this 'hybrid' could reproduce (actually the article quoted mentions that as well)...at least in captivity.

The hunt was legal and probably contributed significantly to the local economy...and at the end of the day the hunter will be able to keep the pelt.

Well, it can't now, but it could before it was shot.

lol, well, being a hybrid, it probably couldn't reproduce

though it might be able to. i was stretching the truth for comedic effect

Why would being a naturally bred hybrid limit its capacity to reproduce? Because the other bears would think it's too ugly?

 

[H2Andy]

lol

genetic stuff.. like mules can't reproduce (they're hybrids between donkeys
and horses)

the closer the two species are that create the hybird, the better chances
that the hybrid will be able to reproduce

Depends on the cross. Some hybrids are not crosses of separate species and therefore do produce fertile young. Brown Bears and Polar Bears are merely one example. Wolves, Dogs and Coyotes also produce fertile offspring.

Actually, they usually can't reproduce, but there are exceptions.

 

[H2Andy]

ok, i withdraw my joke

 

[Hank49]

I'm white and I had a Filipino wife and one of our children has reproduced....is that the same thing?

 

[H2Andy]

same species

trick question...

hey, has anybody tried to mate with a gorilla? how much alcohol would
that take?

oh wait... let's ask Green... i think he mated with a human being

(hahaha... sorry... oh ... sorry sorry)
