David Attenborough's Natural CuriositiesSeries 4
Episode 1 of 6

David Attenborough examines some fascinating creatures. This episode looks at bizarre and sometimes deadly hybrids, like the pizzly bear and the killer bee.

Hybrids can be bizarre and they can be deadly. We look at two hybrid animals that owe their existence to human interference - the pizzly bear (a cross between a polar bear and grizzly), which has come into being because of global warming, and the killer bee, brought into existence because of the transfer of African bees to South America.
