A Grizzly Bear Thought He Was All Alone, But Then He Met An Unusual New Friend

Jebbie the grizzly and Laerke the polar bear came from two completely different places. But the duo had one thing in common: equally heartbreaking backstories. They seemed destined for loneliness until the Detroit Zoo finally stepped in, placing them in the same exhibit. It was a huge gamble, though, as no one knew if the bears would become friends or enemies. Photo Credit: Raymond Boyd/Getty Images
