Summary:
During unknown period of time, the alien grey or better known as Martians collected the genetics of the animals from earth and using their superior technology repopulated a planet 14 times bigger than our planet earth and named it planet Darwin. This story will focus on Jotunn, the relative of the polar bear on earth. A male Jotunn data: The Jotunn lives and rules his kingdom at the top of the world of the planet, Darwin. The high arctic is called Jotunheimr. He is the polar bear - unchanged except for the fact that there are in Jotunheimr a larger variety of seals to be hunted. When a beast is as finely tuned to such as extreme environment, you simply leave things as they are. This is the largest of the bears. The average Jotunn weighs 1200 pounds. Average shoulder height 5 feet. Weight range: 900 to 1900 pounds. Exceptional individuals: 2200 pounds. Females are 33% to 40% lighter than their male counterparts. Note: Planet Darwin and Jotunn are credited to Brobear.

Chapter 1: The largest of the Jotunn named Nanook.
The Jotunn were thriving well in planet Darwin’s North Pole. They look very much like our polar bears on earth but are larger and heavier on average. The Jotunn also have fur that can range from creamy yellowish white to green. The creamy yellowish green white coat is due to sun oxidation (planet Darwin orbits around a lime green sun) or seal blubber oil during winter to early spring. Jotunn’s late spring to summer coat is green is colour. This is because his translucent coat allows a type of microscopic plant which does not exist on earth to grow inside his fur. That is why Jotunn can also be called the green summer bear.
Spring has arrived and a female Jotunn emerged from the snowy den with her cubs. The largest of her cubs is named Nanook and his two sisters are named Astrid and Aurora.
All three cubs had different personalities. Among the cubs, Astrid is the most adventurous and feisty, Aurora is calm and collected, and Nanook was somewhere in the middle. Although he was not a bully, he would not let himself be bullied either.
Nanook and his two sisters were wide eyed and explored their surroundings. Nanook and his sisters bump into a sleeping bull walrus which almost stab them to death. The Jotunn cubs were too quick for the walrus and got away on time.
The cubs had to learn from the mother which seal they could and couldn’t approach as cubs. This is because seal which have ancestors from earth’s South Pole are more aggressive than these from the north in general.

Chapter 2: Meal time.
The mother of the three Jotunn cubs figure out it is time to start eating. She approached a huge female leopard seal heavier than the female Jotunn herself.
The female Jotunn grab the female leopard seal as she was resting and drag her as far from the sea as possible. The female Jotunn proceeded to butcher the female leopard seal and allowed her cubs to feed.
Nanook and his sisters enjoyed the taste of red blood for the first time in their life. They were basically made to eat seals and meat which is 95% of their diet. Nanook being the largest of the siblings ate the biggest amount of blubber.
Although Jotunn enjoyed the taste of seal blood and blubber, he is still too little to hunt seals. The feisty Astrid attempted to attack the female leopard seal but was nearly killed. She was rescued by the timely intervention of their mother. In fact, the leopard seal the Jotunn cubs are eating is the same seal which tried to kill Astrid.

Chapter 3: Growing up.
Nanook, Astrid, and Aurora became two years of age. They had learned enough survival skills to leave their mother which is no longer lactating but has reached her reproduction cycle once more.
With a new litter of Jotunn cubs, the female Jotunn no longer paid attention to her cubs and didn’t care that they left her. As the winter approached, Nanook and his sisters left for the ice pac but not before going their seperate ways confident that they will survive and probably meet each other again next late spring or summer.
On the ice pac, Nanook attempted to catch a beluga whale but failed. He managed to catch a bull sea lion which was heavier than he is. Astrid in the meantime caught a female leopard seal. This female Jotunn loves eating leopard seals more than any other catch. Aurora managed to kill a female ringed seal. The three Jotunn’s not only had different personalities but also prey preference. The three siblings would meet up at large food sources (e.g. an area with trapped belugas).
Large male Jotunns pulled the belugas out of their breathing hole and beat them to death. The death of a cetacean is no quick death given it has no neck and their thick hide and blubber protects their vital organs. This was Nanook’s potential strength.
Two and a half years later, Astrid and Aurora reaches sexual maturity and join the mating season. Nanook only became sexually mature at six years old but he was excluded by the older males until he reached eight years old. By ten years old, Nanook was an exceptionally large 2200 pound male Jotunn. He killed the dominant male in a fight to death and became the largest and strongest male Jotunn in the area.

Chapter 5: The invasion of grizzly.
Global warming happened when the young star that planet Darwin was orbiting around became a supergiant. This produced global warming and the grizzly began invading the tundra. A male grizzly biodata: - bipedal height - 8 feet ( 2.44 m ) with a shoulder height of 4 feet ( 1.22 m )... average weight - 800 pounds. ( normal weight range from 300 to 1500 pounds ).
Females are 33% to 40% lighter.
The grizzly which invaded are the smallest of their kind (weighing on average 100 pounds more than the barren ground grizzly bears on earth). The grizzly are much more aggressive than the Jotunn and generally dominate at food sources. They have even learn to hunt seals. Jotunns and grizzlys encounters usually happens between late spring till summer.
Some large adult male Jotunn’s including Nanook has learn to ignore the grizzlies and treat them as nothing more than little annoying pests. Most time a grizzly would not push its chances if Jotunn does not give way but one grizzly did and struck Nanook on the snout.
Nanook angrily attacked and toss grizzly around like a rag doll before biting his throat and breaking his opponents neck by shaking his jaws. Many male Jotunn’s killed any male grizzly that would press their chances beyond that.
The male Jotunns also killed many of the male grizzlies during mating season. Nanook alone had already killed at least ten male grizzlies during mating season.

Chapter 6: The hybrids take over.
The more the female Jotunns prefer the male grizzlies to their own males, the greater the number of hybrid bears and the less the number of Jotunns. The male Jotunns continued to decrease in number as they fight viciously to the death especially during mating season. Nanook killing plenty of his own kind during mating season does not help either.
The male grizzlies now stay out of the way when the male Jotunns fight for their mating rights. Since, the female bears prefer to mate with the male grizzlies more than their the male sub adult Jotunns, this gives the grizzly another open door to wipe out the competition.
The grizzly has proven to be the most adaptable bear on planet Darwin. Something which Titan (short faced bears) only come second in place. While Jotunn is stronger than both grizzly and Titan, he is not as adaptable to climate changes.
Nanook had to share his territory with the grizztunn hybrids. Despite that, the Jotunns are not territorial and therefore they got along fine. Nanook and the other male jotunns would not hesitate to kill a male grizztunn hybrid during mating season or displace them at food sources. Nanook at 3000 pounds is still the dominant male bear overall.

Chapter 7: The last of the Jotunns.
Ten years later, Nanook who is now twenty years old is the last male Jotunn on planet Darwin. All other male Jotunns had been killed during mating season or died of old age or due to having to swim longer distances due to global warming.
The North Pole is now filled with Grizztunn hybrids. These hybrids are more adaptable to climate change in comparison to the jotunns. Many Jotunns died out due to the temperature change especially during mating season when the males get into fights and overheat.
The last male Jotunn who is no other than Nanook himself died after killing a few male hybrid bears due to overheating and old age. Nanook died but not without leaving his legacy behind.
Nanook’s most impressive predation feat was when he butchered a huge bull walrus (which had isolated himself from the herd due to sickness). The fight was not easy as the bull walrus was not only much bigger but also had thick hide and blubber to protect his vitals and armed with huge tusks that can break several inches of ice.
Nanook also butchered many leopard seals, sea lions, musk oxens, reindeers, and even male grizzlies and hybrids during his lifetime.

Chapter 8: The sun turns into a red giant.
A thousand years passed and the supergiant which planet Darwin orbits around turned orange and cooled down. The star, however, expanded and became larger but cooler. A few planets were swallowed up when the star became a giant.
The planet returned to its original temperature. Overtime, some of the hybrids and some of the grizzlies adapted to the environment of the North Pole after getting separated from the rest of their kin. Other hybrid bears overtime became bruins.
The Jotunn have re emerged and the end begins again. The interbreeding of Jotunn and the bruin which produced hybrids made the new breed of jotunns and bruin of the north the same size and weight.

Chapter 9: Two new breed of Jotunns.
The new breed of Jotunns are just as large and successful as the previous breed of Jotunns. The new breed of jotunns owe their existance to the bruins and the bruitunn hybrids.
The new breed of bruin in the north are now the same weight as the new breed of jotunns (which are just as heavy as the old breed of jotunns).

Chapter 10: Two alternate ending.
In the first alternate ending, planet Darwin is the neighbour of planet Diamond and planet Sapphire. A huge male blue ice bear which became one with the last blue star destroyed the solar system as well as the planets in the solar system. The alien greys, however, had many other planet Darwin’s from different planets and they continued to have more Jotunns and other animals available.
In the second alternate ending, Clodwall, the male blue ice bear absorbed the blue super giant into itself and destroyed the whole solar system including planet Darwin, planet Diamond, and planet Sapphire destroying all life in that solar system forever. End of Book 1.

Replacing this thread. Its just syfy/fantasy. Imagine populating a planet with every creature that ever lived on Earth. A big planet called Darwin. Two massive continents; Dragonia ( dinosaurs, pterosaurs, and mostly reptiles and amphibians ) and Mammothia, the land dominated by mammals and birds. Dragonia lies in the Eastern hemisphere. Her southern end merged into the South Pole. Her northern end reaching into equatorial Darwin. Mammothia lies in the Western hemisphere. Her northern end merged into the North Pole. Her southern end reaching into equatorial Darwin. In this, we are only concerned with Mammothia. This great continent is divided down the middle from North to South by "The Great River". This river is anywhere from two to twenty miles across. But can be more easily crossed where numerous smaller river and creeks flow together to form "The Great River" in the upper North. The Same can be said for where "The Great River" separates into smaller rivers and creeks within the tropics. "The Great River" divides East Mammothia from West Mammothia. The Jotunn, or polar bear lives and reigns as the supreme predator within the North Pole. Every kind of arctic Pinniped lives there. Also, with every species of whale living in abundance in the ocean, beached whales are more common. Therefore, with no food shortages, the polar bears, although unchanged, are huge. The boars average 1200 pounds; the sows 600 pounds. Normal size range of a boar: from 900 to 2000 pounds. In the Western hemisphere, there lives the Titan or Western bear. This bear was bred from all of the more primitive bear species or non-Ursinae bears. Here is a list of the bears that went into the breeding of the Western bear. Weights given are for 10+ year old male bears.

The end result is a hybrid bear I call the Titan or Bear of West Mammothia - Arctodus agriotherium tremarctos. In appearance, he most closely resembles Arctotherium angustidens. In size he most closely resembles Agriotherium africanum. Average shoulder height: 5 feet. Weight range for 10+ year old males: 800 to 1200 pounds. Average weight: 1000 pounds. The Titan lives in West Mammothia.
