We have seen it happen with a lion and a tiger why not with these two teddy bears of course the offspring will suffer from genetic viruses and have a short life but can we do it with these two animals as well?

They're pretty different. I would think something like grizzly x polar bear would be more feasible.

... and just did a google on that now because you've got me curious. as it turns out, the grizzly x polar cross breed has occured both in the wild and in captivity. Pretty cool.

I know how he feels. I don't like people loudly talking at me either.

I'd chalk that up to him being in a theme park zoo in China rather than being a hybrid.

Grizzly x polar bear is viable, has been documented, but some populations of grizzly bear are more closely related to polar bears than other grizzly bears anyway.

Intergeneric offspring in tetrapods are on the rare side, though they do happen. But panda hybrids with any other ursid would be extremely rare even in captivity, if at all possible. Species in Ursus are fair game though. Might be possible, but it's very unlikely.

Someone told me all the bears most common ancient ancestor was more or less panda? Anyone know any more? Polar bears and grizzlys make giant super bears and they're becoming a problem I'm northern regions where the polar bears are coming onto land to escape melting ice.

Isn't grizzly x polar hybridization a really big problem for polar bears in north america? Thought I heard they were pushing out polars and encroaching on human lands.

Are they like logers in that they get bigger than the parent species?

They probably mean that pandas are the least modified species when compared to their ancestors, though I don't know how accurate that is either.
