http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/4766217.stm Quotes: "The guide .. noticed the creature had the long claws and slightly humped back of a grizzly bear and thought it might be a hybrid. " "It's the first time it's known to have happened in the wild." So they shot it. Nice to see such enlightened attitudes in the 21st century! |
