Fact Or Fiction: The Answer!

"Grizzly bear scat found in Utah."
Luckily for Utah residents, this story is utter bear plop. No brown bear scat has been discovered in Utah to our knowledge.


Believe it or not, scientists have actually identified genetic material belonging to the fabled "grolar bear" hybrid, and an Australian researcher theorizes that climate change is the cause.

In spiritual news, Rev. Dick Randall of the Village Church in Incline Village, Nev., asked his congregants  to stop a bear with the power of prayer. His email said to "pray that this bear(s) which have done over $70,000 plus damage to homes and now a church is caught and relocated. Pray also that it does NOT come back to our church."
