There is something deeply disturbing about the way grizzly bears are being talked about today. It isn’t simply that people disagree about grizzly bear management. Disagreement is healthy.

How old are polar bears? Just when did these fearsome Arctic giants first appear?
The oldest known polar bear fossils hail from Svalbard and northern Norway and are dated at 115,000–130,000 years old, before the beginning of the last Ice Age.

Could this endearing mammal be the reason Canada exists?
Canada may not have existed as we know it today if it wasn’t for the beaver, and certainly wouldn’t have been explored by Europeans as quickly, says Christian Dunn.
