Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Rare silver-coloured bear cub captured on camera in Alaska
Caption: Rare silver-coloured bear cub captured on camera in Alaska. A rare silver-coloured bear cub has been captured on camera at a national park in Alaska. The six-month-old youngster looks almost like a tiny polar bear because of its unusually pale coat. Its striking silver fur immediately sets it apart from the park’s darker brown bears. The unusual colouring sparked speculation that it could be a polar-grizzly hybrid known as a “pizzly”. But experts say it’s an ordinary brown bear whose remarkably pale coat is simply down to genetics.
