Names tossed around for a recently discovered polar bear/grizzly hybrid:

>>Stirling said others in his office have been tossing around in jest possible names for the hybrid: a "pizzly" or a "grolar bear." One colleague said they ought to call it "nanulak," combining the Inuit names for polar bear -- "nanuk" -- and grizzly bear, which is "aklak."<<

Does it answer to "Jim"? If I was close enough to work out that it was a hybrid between grizzly and polar bears I might just get time to call it ofuk befor ....

Now boys, don't be vulgar. Naming bears is a serious buisness.

Since a breeding group of these half-breed bears has not been established why don't we just consider theses bears as just a bi-polar version of the grizzly.

We could call it the lookatha, in commemoration of what generations of c'meres have said while driving around Western NC: lookatha bear. Lookatha bear.
