Hybrid Bär "Tips"

Zoo Osnabrück, Osnabrück, Germany
Tips und Taps im Osnabrücker Zoo zeigen Verhaltensweisen beider Arten. „Im Winter versuchen sie, das Eis auf dem zugefrorenen Teich aufzubrechen“, berichtet Tierpfleger Thorsten Vaupel. Dies sei typisch für Eisbären, die in der Wildnis auf diese Weise an Robben als Beute kommen wollen. Im Sommer liegen beide gern faul im Gehege und dösen vor sich hin. „Typisch Braunbär“, sagt der Pfleger. Wenn Thorsten Vaupel mit einem Eimer Makrelen kommt, werden die Geschwister sofort hellwach. Beim Schnappen der Fische erinnert Bärendame Tips mit ihrem cremefarbenen Fell eher an einen Eisbär, das Gesicht ist aber braunbärtypisch. Bei Bruder Taps ist es umgekehrt: dunkleres Fell, aber eine kantige, lange Nase wie ein Eisbär.

Tips and taps in the Osnabrück Zoo show behaviors of both types. "In the winter, they try to break up the ice on the frozen pond," zookeeper Thorsten Vaupel is reported. This is typical of polar bears, which come in the wilderness at seals as prey this way. In the summer, are both like lazy in the enclosure and doze away. "Typical brown bear", the nurse says. When Thorsten Vaupel comes with a bucket of mackerel, the siblings are now wide awake. At the catch of fish bear Lady reminiscent of tips with her cream-colored fur a polar bear, the face is brown bear. When brother taps is it reversed: darker fur, but a sharp-edged, long nose like a polar bear.

Hybrid Bear Tips
female born 2004
Zoo Osnabrück, Osnabrück, Germany
Canadian wildlife officials have suggested calling the hybrid "nanulak", taken from the Inuit names for polar bear (nanuk) and grizzly bear (aklak).
Two grizzly–polar hybrid cubs (one female and one male) were born at Osnabrück Zoo in Osnabrück, Germany, in 2004, and their physical traits are generally an intermediate between the polar bear and the grizzly bear. For example, their bodies are smaller than polar bears, but larger than grizzlies, while their heads fall between the broader grizzly head and the leaner polar bear head. They have long necks like polar bears, but small shoulder humps like grizzlies.] The soles of their feet are partially covered in hair; polar bears have hair-covered soles, which act as insulation, and grizzlies have hairless soles.
Similarly, the hair of the hybrids exhibits a pattern of hollowness, which blends the traits of both polar bears and grizzlies. In cross section, the hair of polar bears is hollow, while the hair of grizzlies is either solid or has small hollow regions. This varies according to which part of the grizzly the hair is located. In the hybrid male, the paw hair was solid, but the dark back hair was somewhat hollow, albeit with "smaller empty regions than found in polar bear hair". The hair of the female hybrid, "contains a range of hollow regions".
The hybrids demonstrated behavior more similar to polar bears than grizzlies. They stomped toys similar to how polar bears break ice, and hurled bags to the side "as polar bears may hurl prey". Grizzlies given the same bags do not demonstrate this hurling behavior. The hybrids were also observed lying down similar to polar bears: on their bellies with rear legs splayed. Source Wikipedia

"Dürfen wir vorstellen – Tips und Taps, unsere bärenstarken Klimabotschafter!
Tips und Taps sind Mischlingsbären oder genauer: Hybridbären. So werden die Nachkommen von Bäreneltern, die verschiedenen Arten angehören, genannt. Im Falle von Tips und Taps war der Vater Eisbär und die Mutter Braunbärin. Die beiden Bärenkinder wurden im Januar 2004 im Osnabrücker Zoo geboren. Der Tierpfleger staunte nicht schlecht, als er damals die beiden Mischlingsbabys entdeckte. So richtig freuen konnte sich die Zooleitung anfangs nicht über den ungewöhnlichen Nachwuchs."

"May we introduce - Tips and Taps, our attractive climate ambassador!
Tips and Taps are hybrid bears. So the descendants of bear parents who belong to different species, are called. In the case of Tips and Taps, the father was Polar Bear and the mother a European Brown Bear. The two bear cubs were born in January 2004 in the Osnabrück Zoo. The zookeeper was astonished when he discovered the two hybrid babies at the time. The Zoo Board initially does not have the unusual talent could really enjoy."
