Activists of the Canadian Greenpeace have managed to confuse a grizzly bear living in one of the country’s reserves with a polar bear, Ukrainian media report. An albino bear named Joy let his color down – the activists put him to sleep with a paralyzing ampoule and sent the poor man to Alaska, where polar ones live.
The bear, not accustomed to the Arctic cold, began to go out to the polar explorers, who realized that they were not a local inhabitant, and called the local zoologists for help. They understood from the paw prints that it was a “strange” bear, and then contacted colleagues from Canada, who confirmed Joey’s disappearance.
The bear was taken home by plane, and to protect it from new “saviors”, signs were hung next to its habitat announcing the presence of an unusual albino bear.
Joy is now healthy, but tries to stay away from people.
This story looks almost fantastic, but in fact, grizzlies and polar bears sometimes not only live in the same places, but also interbreed with each other. This is due to the fact that the polar bear’s habitat is shrinking and it migrates south, while the grizzly, on the contrary, moves north.
