People have been spotting strange looking bears in the Arctic for the past few years. Then, in 2010, David Kuptana of Victoria Island stumbled upon one of the mystery bears. It looked like a polar bear but had specific traits that were clearly not from the species.
With the rising temperatures, people began blaming climate change for the weird bear, but that didn’t explain its origin. As scientists began to research, what they found was shocking.
This Story Begins On The Coast Of The Arctic Circle
This strange bear story begins in the frozen Canadian North along the coast of the Arctic Circle, Victoria Island. Here, the temperatures regularly go below freezing, and the locals are no strangers to long winter nights.
Although this island is the ninth-largest in the world, it has a population of 2,000, including David Kuptana. Considering the area is almost the same size as Idaho, it’s amazing that a bear was able to find the inhabitants.
