Interesting North American finds

[cerulean pier]

While finding things for https://discord.com/channels/393040947006406657/1336821988718809119 I saw a lot of interesting things from North America, so I’d figure I make this

I dibs South America. (I'll do it tomorrow most likely)

Massive Polar Bear

[young gate]

isint this a grolar bear ? (hybrid between grizzly and polar bear )

[cerulean pier]

No, its just covered in sand

[young gate]

oh wait its alive 😂 thought it was a taxidermy

now that i´m looking at grolar bears they arent looking very similar just thought it because of the brown fur

[quick adder]

Black fox squirrel I found on r/Hunting on Reddit

wolfdog if not regular ass dog 😭

Back in the golden era of the American west there are records of groups of cowboys who hunted grizzly bears by roping them(like a bull)

So dire wolves are back. Colossal Biosciences just announced it

[quick adder]

Is this fr?

[cerulean pier]

Yep two pups where born in October
Here is one of them now

[quick adder]

Let's goooo! Fun fact; They're more closely related to jackals than to wolves

[cerulean pier]

Turns out, that was wrong. They’re closer to wolves.
I’m watching the CEO of Colossal talking about them

[fallow knot]

Not Wild but….

Royal Palm Turkey

[minor canyon]

This can’t be real right?

[cerulean pier]

It’s happening, these are dire wolves

To be more specific, dire wolf and grey wolf hybrids. But they’re have a lot of dire wolf genetics in them. For being 6 months old, they’re bigger by like 60% or something than grey wolves are at 6 months

[minor canyon]

That’s awesome I wonder what’s gonna happen with them

[cerulean pier]

They’re on a nature preserve right now(fenced) to be studied and taken care of. They’re going to move towards eating carcasses soon

[minor canyon]

Ooooo keep me updated pleasseeee

[cerulean pier]

In a couple of years I’m gonna show a mammoth calf and I will just freak out

[fervent lava]

What exactly was the reasoning for bringing back Dire Wolves or at least some form/variant of it? I don't really see how bringing back species that have been extinct for 10,000 and 4,000 years I just don't really see it but I'm always interested in learning and I guess it does show huge technological and scientific potential

[crude meteor]

No, the Dire Wolf has not been brought back from extinction. They are actually Grey Wolf with genetic edits intended to make them resemble to the lost species.

[minor canyon]

Yea but one thing I would like to know is that what do these genetics do?

Like does it enhance their size what’s it do

[cerulean pier]

I’ve heard that their bigger

[crude meteor]

I remind you that this subspecies, the Pyrenean ibex (Capra pyrenaica pyrenaica), was technically “brought back” after extinction, although only for a few minutes due to a lung malformation. This marked the first successful attempt. It was achieved through cloning from preserved cells.

[minor canyon]

Are they still attempting that species or did they archive it

[cerulean pier]

Piebald Black bear

[gusty basalt]

Look at this stunning piebald bison.

[minor canyon]

It’s not piebald, it’s a bison that has crossbred with cattle.

[gusty basalt]

I made sure it’s piebald before posting it here, I did a lot of research on this particular specimen

[minor canyon]

Are you sure? (Not tryna start an argument at all) since where I originally saw that photo the bison was said to be interbred with cattle.

[gusty basalt]

Maybe we saw two different posts. The one I found clearly stated it’s Piebald.

[minor canyon]

Yeah, maybe.

[fallow knot]

Figured this is semi related

The polar bear exhibit at Sapporo City Zoo, Japan

[cerulean pier]

(The closest thing I’ve found to a rare polar bear) Polar Bear with algae in it fur

[velvet yoke]

just when I thought 2025 couldn't get any weirder, I now know that a green bear exists... lol

[cerulean pier]

That’s what I’m here for

[cerulean pier]

Supposedly there’s also yellow polar bears
Because of a heavy seal diet

[fallow knot]

The smell has to be awful!

It probably won’t ever come out either

[oblique basin]

Wow that's crazy

[cerulean pier]

Luecistic Grizzly Bear

[gusty basalt]

All these animals are stunning! Really wish we could get all of them

[velvet yoke]

that would be cool to see in COTW if the Grizzlies ever got a rework

[cerulean pier]

B&C World record Stone sheep

[cerulean pier]

B&C world record Muskox

[cerulean pier]

B&C World record Polar Bear

[cerulean pier]

This is so cool, but so dangerous at the same time

[oblique basin]

I don't see not dangers tbh

[gusty basalt]

Just cool

[cerulean pier]

B&C world record Dall sheep

B& World record Mountain, Woodland, Barren Ground, Central Canada Barren Ground, Quebec-Labrador Caribou

Thanks for telling us which is which

[cerulean pier]

Albino Peccary

[minor canyon]

Black bear, polar bear, grizzly bear, Kodiak bear claws. Pretty cool aye?

[cerulean pier]

Maltese(blue) Bobcat

[oblique basin]

I like that it's actually a rare ingame

[minor canyon]

Yep it is

[crude meteor]

A good glue or a good Photoshop a photo over another photo! Lol. The whitetail seems normal for a hybrid. I don't believe it.

[velvet yoke]

that's about as real as a jackalope lol. I think it's pretty clearly photoshopped

[oblique basin]

No generally these two groups are really far away

[cerulean pier]

I’m convinced it was a fake now

[gusty basalt]

Wait what happened? What was as good as a Jackelope? I’m a bit confused

[velvet yoke]

someone posted a picture of a whitetail deer with the horns of a pronghorn either photoshopped or glued onto its head, supposedly a pronghorn/deer hybrid

[cerulean pier]
