A female European brown bear mated with a male polar bear resulting in twin cubs in 1876. Three further births were recorded. The young were fertile among themselves and when mated back to European brown bears and to polar bears. [citation needed] DNA studies indicate that the ABC Islands bears have mixed brown and polar bear ancestry. [5]
Being serially monogamous, brown bears remain with the same mate for a couple of days to a couple of weeks. Outside of this narrow time frame, adult male and female brown bears show no sexual interest in each other. [33] Females mature sexually between the ages of four and eight. [97]
[12] [13] Females, on average, mate with three to four males during a mating season and mating males have more variation, mating with one to eight females during a mating season. [10] Since reproductive success is positively correlated with age and size in bear populations, there are also males that do not mate at all until they are able to ...
A single F1 female was the mother of all four backcross individuals, and a single female polar bear was the mother of all four F1s, and thus the grandmother of all four backcross bears.

The main advantage of sentinel behavior is that many survival tactics are improved. As stated, the male or female will act as a sentinel and signal to their mate if a predator is present. This can lead to an increase in survivorship, foraging, and incubation of eggs. [13] Male care for offspring is rather rare in some taxa of species.
