In the Arctic, due to global warming, polar bears and brown bears, which previously lived separately, are now encountering each other in the same area. This was reported by Zamin.uz.
Experts have stated that they have even started hunting together. For example, polar bears and brown bears are hunting reindeer together.
This information was provided by the famous polar researcher Vladimir Chukov. Experts consider this phenomenon to be a natural process.
This process is causing changes not only in the ecosystem but also in the strengthening of genetic connections. Scientific research has shown that polar bears have genes characteristic of brown bears in their DNA.
Additionally, it has been found that hybrid bear cubs have also been born. Currently, due to rising temperatures in the Arctic, the territorial boundaries between these two species are coming closer.
In the future, their encounters and interactions are expected to increase. This will create opportunities for a new biological balance to emerge in the ecosystem.
Thus, global warming is affecting not only climate changes but also the genetic composition of the animal world
