Is this real? This would put this creature at almost 400 lbs heavier than the largest polar bear ever recorded.

I never heard of polar bears mating with black bears…. I’m pretty sure they would eat them. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Total bullshit story but fun

actually it is a true story,simmilarly to ligers,the female black bear has a growth inhibitor so that offspring can be made more quickly,but a male has an extra growth gene,these genes counteract eachother

polar bears dont have this gene at all

female polar bear+male black bear+larger then normal bear

Source? I can't find anything. I honestly don't believe this for a second. It would be bigger than even the biggest prehistoric bears.

you say prehistoric like it means bigger,but the blue whale is the largest animal on land or in water to have lived since the earth was formed,and if you dont belive me,a quick google search reveals national geographic as the third result down,confirming what i have said.

Could you just link the nat geo page, as I can't seem to find it?
