I ike that! Sadly, due to the dramatic changes many of us have seen over our careers- changes in the last 30 years- we have wondered if we will all become polar bear historians. Sure hope not!

Well, I've never been able to have a real conversation with a polar bear, but I did hear a tale from a colleague in Norway. He had come upon the scene of a remote cabin where a polar bear had broken in through a window and made quite a mess looking for food. Among items left in the cabin where cans of beer and cans of Coke. The Coke cans were all crushed and empty, while the beer was untouched.

It's only sad if we don't collectively take actions to stop the warming and help stabilize sea ice (and temperatures where we live too!). So turn that sadness into action- talk to your family and friends, talk to your elected officials, vote if you can, and help transition our world to cleaner sources of energy.

Coastal browns and grizzlies are both brown bears. There is genetic evidence of brown bears on Admiralty Island in SE Alaska having interbreed with polar bears some time ago. We also know polar bears diverged from a shared ancestor of the modern brown bear circa 300,000 or more years ago.

Edited to add, "polar bears are best".
