Grolar Bear – Grizzly Bear/Polar Bear

The Grolar Bear is the genetic pairing of the Grizzly Bear and the Polar Bear. The coloration and other features indicate the merger of these two powerful bears’ strongest traits. The hybrid can be found in nature, while primarily seen in captivity. The two types of bears are not commonly found in the same geographic locations, and when they are, they tend to avoid each other. This means that your best bet of spotting a Grolar is in captive breeding programs. This trend is changing as global warming pushes the frozen arctic northwards. More frequently, the two bears meet thanks to climate change. Experts believe that this will result in an increase in natural hybridization.

Zorse – Zebra/Horse

If the name of this strange animal pairing doesn’t amuse you, not much else out there will. The incredible crossbreed Zorse is a hybridization between a Zebra and a horse. Horses are not as closely related to Zebras as donkeys. They are genetically more distant. This makes genetic disability more common in this combination. Their distinguishing stripes are usually only present in some areas of their coat. Some Zorses present spots on their upper coat.
