Beware of the Pizzly!
One aspect of climate change is on average that animals are moving 2 meters north a day.
One of the most surprising stories Laurence Smith found when he was researching his book is the big game hunter from Idaho. James Martell who went to shoot a polar bear in Canada in 2006. After shooting the bear his excitement turned to confusion when he saw that the animal had brown circles around its eyes and huge claws. This was the first documented sighting of a Pizzly, the cross between a polar bear and a grizzly bear. And, these animals are now reproducing!
