Unless those are supposed to be 200 year old
Great Auks, either the birds or the bear took a really long wrong turn.

What do you think the chances are that a journalist made a mistake and/or isn't saying what you think they are saying?
“Isolated brown bears living in Alaskas Admiralty, Baranof and Chichagof islands share between 5 and 10 percent of their DNA with polar bears”
The article goes on to say that polar bears and brown bears interbreed occasionally (much as coyotes and wolves occasionally do) and that this might be a “threat” to the polar bear in diluting what makes them unique.
In light of this I think what the journalist was ATTEMPTING to say is that these particular Brown bears are of 5 to 10% polar bear ancestry - much as some coyote populations are of 5 to 10% wolf ancestry.
So rather than being “SUNSABITCHES” that are “ALL GODDAM EFFING LIARS” - maybe the journalist was unclear in what they were attempting to say?

These are actually some Not-So-Great Auks, which are rare.
But grilling them for a while should take care of that.

Make your point, but no need at all to take God's Name in vain as a curse word. God is only to be held in your highest esteem, and any reference to Him must be only in highest reverence. May you repent and receive The LORD’s forgiveness. We all have sinned and come short of His glory, but when we realize that we have sinned, we must be big enough to repent or we will bear His displeasure. I hope you choose to repent. Also, your point may be well taken, but I could not read past the unholy cursing, and did not receive it.

That’s adorable. Of course, after the weight doubled, there weren’t any more games of that kind. ;’)
