#8 A growing population will show less "genetic diversity" as there are more siblings and half-siblings.

#9 this can't be, i was told by the same people that keep saying 'trust the science!™ that all the polar bears would be long dead by now if we didn't 'do something!™ and give up more of our rights and more importantly, money, to the government!

#10 Where to start here? Like ungulates can form the idea "You are f*cking your cousin / sister / mom? Ewwwwww..."

See the mouse ears story below.

We are entering the early days of a new dark ages. Should the human race survive it, historians will one day record that it was not ushered in by beer-swilling, [Q]An*n (I type it that way so it doesn't create a target here for gummint snoops) obsessed white male high school drop outs, but by the so-called "scientific communnity."

#11 What's this? We still have Polar Bears?
I thought we were told back in the late 1990's they'd all be dead by 2010.
Unless of course lots of $$$$$$$ was raised for the correct pockets.


Note: Some may remember the article of a man accused of shooting a Poplar Bear about 4 or 5 years back? He was found INNOCENT because on doing a requested Genetic test they found the bear was a grizzly–polar bear. A massive and very aggressive hybrid called a Grolar bear.

So Nature is just adapting and evolving as it has done for a Million years.

#14 This as opposed to the normal amount of inbreeding that occurs in a wild population. Because they're careful to check their geneologies and stuff.

#15  they found the bear was a grizzly–polar bear. A massive and very aggressive hybrid called a Grolar bear.

Some call them pizzlies. Grolar is better. They exist because the expanding polar bear population has spread south into grizzly territory. Polar bears are reportedly a fairly new sub-species of Ursus arctos (brown bears), which includes grizzly bears. That’s why they can interbreed and produce viable offspring.
