Grolar Bear! But why did they have to shoot it?
  • But why did they have to shoot it? Because they're bastards. A low order of human.
  • . . . Time to blow up the clown . . .
  • I can't even look at the link, or I will cry, but was it a female? Because if so, there is a good chance there are cubs without a mommy right now. Tis the season, and all.
  • Is that picture of Bungle doing something recursive? I was pretty sure I'd come down already. Also I'm a bastard, I was a bastard when it wasn't so trendy, and I'm still a bastard now that it is merely common. If I had stumbled into this bears territory through some unexpected necessity, and despite backing off had been attacked, and then killed it with tooth and claw I'd have a swagger in my step. However, if I with foresight, armed and ready strutted into it's that territory and shot it for nothing more than sport, then my son, I'd be a c*nt. Bastards can't help it; can c*nts?
  • It was a male. Figures, an American big game hunter. The funny thing, he is facing possible fines because he did not have a permit to shoot a grizzly (yet he had a permit to shoot a polar bear... fuck me, I thought polar bears were just put on the "red list" for endangered species??). Damn Chy, I thought the Hasselhoff recursion was bad. Actually, I kinda like that spinning bear.
  • I had to share the bear.
  • Mandelbrot Bear!
  • Grolarian Recursion!
  • I feel like falling in a never-ending pit of fur... eh, ah, nice.
  • WHY did they have to shoot it? What's the point of driving species to the brink of extinction if you're just going to let NEW ones crop up? They can't just have BEARS ambling around in the parking lot of the Starbucks they're going to build there one day, after all. They'd develop a taste for the whipped cream and end up hanging around the doors, and then they'd have to shoot them in front of the customers. No, it's best done now- a stitch in time, and all that...
  • I'd just like to say you shouldn't call a hybrid bear a "pizzly" to its face.
  • I've got the image of a grizzly mating with a polar bear stuck in my head. That must have been an awesome sight.
  • More on the "why": $50,000 and no hide? I'd be pretty pissed that I spent that much money to kill animals in the woods too. I should charge this guy $50 and give him a flyswatter with free reign over my apartment for the summer. He can keep everything he kills. And I won't be so rude to fine him 1k for killing the rare crossbreed skeeters. There's also a squirrel problem in my neighborhood... and a lot of cats...
  • It's too bad they couldn't have radio-collared it to track its behavior. If the mating seasons are so different that the two species seldom interbreed, what season would the grolar bear be inclined to use? Theory is the hybrid is a 'mule'-sterile, but what if it wasn't? There have been cases of mules actually foaling, and apparently they are more fertile with a horse, rather than a jack or a hinny. Would the hybrid bears be fertile with polar or grizz? What is its diet like? Does it hibernate? Dammit! I want some answers here.
  • *gives GramMa some pats of condolence*
  • This is a TERRIBLE year for bears! The Germans are hunting one now. And in the States another bear got shot to death because it walked into a house and attacked a woman.
