Why would Zoos be cross breeding bears?

Random story from the BBC Apparently a hunter in Canada shot a cross between a Grizzly bear and a Polar bear. The story goes on..

There have long been stories of oddly coloured bears living in regions where the two territories overlap. But until now, grizzly-polar hybrids, dubbed "grolar bears" or "pizzlies", have been found only in zoos.


Why on earth would a zoo be cross breeding two different species of bear? Seems like a wwaste of time to me. Maybe they should concetrate on breeding species which are in rapid decline or at risk of extinction. Weird.

maybe there is a global conspiracy to breed nasty bears that can hide out with ginga and blondes.

Sounds about right to me. Bastards.
