With Atlanta traffic bordering on ludicrous, I’ve become a podcast junkie. This has been the only way to maintain my sanity during the daily commute. One recent NPR/Radiolab podcast, “Breaking Bad News Bears”, piqued my interest. It introduced me to the phenomenon of the grolar bear, a new hybrid of a polar bear and a grizzly. With the Canadian Artic shrinking, polar bears and grizzlies are living in closer quarters and (literally) becoming strange bedfellows. The grolar bear, or pizzly, blends the best characteristics of both species allows it to hunt on both land and ice.
