Hunter kills bear hybrid rare in Canada and revolt users on Facebook

                   

With the white, dark legs and large claws, the hybrid bear is considered rare

A hunter shot and killed a rare species of bear hybrid, born from the crossing of a brown bear with a polar, Canada. Photo of Hunter celebrating the "done" was posted on Facebook, which angered social network users.

According to the hunter Didji Ishalook, 25, to make the shot, he believed he was facing a polar bear because of the white coat. However, he realized that it is a hybrid bear noting the dark legs and large claws that are characteristic of the brown bear.

Even when dealing with a rare species, the animal was killed legally as part of a program that allows hunting to feed the inhabitants of the icy regions, according to the newspaper "The Toronto Star". The photos were posted by the hunter on the last day (15) on your Facebook profile.

According to scientists, hybrid bears are extremely rare. Few were seen in the wild and no one knows how many there are in the world. Ten years ago it was not even possible to say that they existed.

The explanation for the emergence of the hybrid bears, according to researchers, may be global warming. With climate change, grizzly bears are moving toward the north where polar bears live.
