Now, I wonder how the creationists are going to deal with this issue: apparently, these "hybrids" are fertile.

They won't have any problem at all. Obviously polar bears and grizzlies are of the same kind. But this isn't the forum for this discussion.

It is a myth that all hybrids are sterile. It was already a known fact that polar bears and brown bears produce fertile offspring. Many domesticated animals and pets are the result of crossbreeding among species. There are even 60 documented cases of mules that weren't, well, mules. Oddly, hinnies (male horse x female donkey) are more likely to be fertile than mules (male donkey x female horse).

The convention followed for some of the others, e.g., Brown and Black, combined with the likely appearance could suggest going with a simplistic approach like Argent bear . The grizzly could be Gray bear, for that matter. No, the applicable term is methodical, not boring.
