The Necessity of Hybrids: In the frozen tundra of Canada, there have been strange bear sightings. These bears weren’t polar bears, nor were they grizzlies. They were grolar bears, or also called pizzlies. How did this happen? When you cross two different species, you get hybrids like grolar bears, wolf-dogs, or even Savannah cats. Sometimes hybrids happen naturally in the wild, but usually, hybrids are the result of humans selectively breeding animals.

Recently, these grizzly-polar bear hybrids started appearing in the wild, not just in zoos. With climate changing, the bears' once-separate habitats overlapped. The result? Their offspring’s fur is tan or light cream while their snout stretches slender like the polar bear snout and shoulders are muscular and broad like the grizzly. These bears are taking on some polar bear behaviors such as stomping on toys like a polar bear might stomp on ice. They hurl sacks like polar bears might throw their prey. Unlike the polar bear, goalers and pizzlies don’t manage well on ice, and their fur is partially hollow so they might adapt better to warmer temperatures.

Another hybrid is the wolf-dog, a result of crossing a wolf with a domestic dog. Though wolf-dogs are bred to be pets, they often take on wolf behaviors such as being territorial and needing a high amount of attention and interaction with their human pack. Since they have the instinct to find their status in the pack, they may test their packmates, often the humans in their lives. This makes wolf-dogs seem aggressive or stubborn and not make ideal pets.

Savannah cats are also human-made hybrids developed to be pets. This exotic animal is the result of crossing a wildcat called a serval with a domestic housecat. Savannah cats aren’t always ideal as house pets because their wildcat instinct to hunt, jump, and attack comes out when they prey on the family hamster or swallow the goldfish for a snack. If not given regular exercise and time outdoors, they can be thought of as fierce killers and will remain destructive by keeping their wild, serval nature.

Crossing two different types of species not only produces new colors and shapes, it draws out behaviors and instincts related to two different types of animals. It looks as if the animal kingdom has a lot more unexpected surprises for us after all. write 3-5 paragraph's
