But don't fall for that "Kiss me, I'm Irish!" ruse.

Ancestry of polar bears traced to Ireland

... this explains the whole “river dance” thing you can sometimes see on icebergs.

She added that a thorough understanding of the polar bear's deep genetic history and its response to previous environmental changes could help to inform conservation strategies for the dwindling population of polar bears today.

Except that the population isn't dwindling. They just THINK it might in the future.

I think we need Al Gore here to straighten this all out.

Isn’t Penn State still harboring that scientist that falsified the “Global Warming” evidence? Take anything from this ‘university’ with grain of salt... unless it’s a football score.

If polar bears came from Ireland, they would still have a green hue (sheesh... don’t these scientist ever THINK). The exception would be the protestant polar bears... they would be orange. The green polar bears and orange polar bears would fight all the time. Aren’t you glad that I settled this debate? /s

This might explain the fertile hybrids that occur occasionally.

Beth Shapiro, the Shaffer Associate Professor of Biology at Penn State University and one of the team's leaders, explained that climate changes affecting the North Atlantic ice sheet probably gave rise to periodic overlaps in bear habitats.

What?

There were climate changes in the past?

The polar ice caps melted in the past?

How can this be?

They didn't have SUVs or coal-fired power plants back then, did they?

But, it's true. My DNA proves it.

Ah, come on now, just a little kiss, eh?

My daughter says there was a green polar bear at the San Diego Zoo not too long ago. Algae had invaded hollow hairs in its fur. Once they figured it out, he had to have a thorough scrub down to get rid of it.

Ah-ha!
So that explains my 'mean streak' (or so I'm told).

[at least I have a valid excuse for it now ;-)]
