Chapter 1: Escape from the tundra.
Lars Maritimus was killed by the nanqusaurus pack but not before he took out their pack leader. Snow White, a large 1000 pound female polar bear which had recently reached sexual maturity a 4.5 years old fled south and out of the tundra. She lives for days without eating until she found a river filled with dead salmon on the bank. Snow White ate as much as she could until she could eat no more. The young female polar bear had not been full for a long time.
As Snow White rested, a female grizzly bear with cubs chased her off. Snow White ran towards a berry bush. There she chased off a male glacier bear and took over the berry bush. Snow White are as much berries as she could and had to adapt to a more omnivorous lifestyle (and was successful since the ancestors of polar bears were actually brown bears). Snow White managed to catch a hare which got too close.
Tired from running from nanqusaurus and Artic tigers as well as being chased off by female grizzly bears, Snow White finally feel asleep after being able to sense there was no other animal that would hunt her down in the area (which would have been Southern Alaska back on the original earth). This young polar bear sow is large for a female. Snow White has taken on the genes of her late father, Lars Maritimus.

Chapter 2: The seven grizzly bear brothers.
While Snow White feel asleep, seven young grizzly brothers were hunting nearby. Doc and Grumpy were busy catching salmon. They were the oldest and most powerful of the Alaskan grizzly bears. They were both silvery blue bears. Happy, Sleepy, Sneezy, and Bashful were busy digging for ground squirrels. Dopey, the youngest and most playful of the Alaskan grizzly bears was playing around and eating berries.
Doc at 1300 pounds is the oldest, largest, and the self appointed leader of the seven grizzly brothers. Grumpy at 1200 pounds is the most aggressive of the grizzly brothers and is really bad tempered yet loyal to his brothers.
Happy is 800 pounds and is golden blond in colour. Sleepy at 850 pounds, is a light brown grizzly bear who enjoys sleeping when not hunting. Sneezy at 850 pounds is a blond haired grizzly bear got his name because he sneezes at the slightest presence of dust.
Bashful is a reddish brown grizzly bear at 900 pounds. Despite being
powerful and robustly built, he fears any animal that is not a bear (e.g. he flees at the sight of smilodon populator and Nanqusaurus tracks). Finally Dopey, the dark brown grizzly bear at 700 pounds is the most playful of the bears. He enjoys chasing butterflies and birds and well as hates for fun rather than hunt.
All seven grizzly bears are brothers because they share the same father but have different mothers. Doc and Grumpy share the same mother. Happy, Sleepy, Sneezy, and Bashful share the same mother.
Dopey was the only cub raised by his mother. Why the seven brothers got together is a mystery and how long they will stay together, nobody knows. All of them had only recently reached sexual maturity. All seven grizzly brothers are about the same age as Snow White and its only a matter of time before they bump into her.

Chapter 3: The encounter with Snow White.
When the seven grizzly brothers had finished their hunting for the day, they returned home to the den which they shared. The den was not far from where Snow White was sleeping. On the way home, Dopey sniffed into Doc’s ear which annoyed the latter. Dopey was met with a hard smack in the snout by the larger silvery blue grizzly bear.
Grumpy saw a smilodon populator eating a bison. The silvery blue grizzly bear chased off the smilodon and took the bison carcass for himself - only allowing Doc to join him. Bashful in the meantime hid behind Happy, Sleepy, and Sneezy. Dopey continued in his playful ways towards the rest of his brothers but he left Doc and Grumpy alone.
The rest of the grizzly brothers only got to feast after Doc and Grumpy has eaten their full. When the grizzly brothers had finished eating, they headed home and passed by the berry bush which Snow White was sleeping in. None of the grizzly brothers except Dopey noticed Snow White. To others that are not bears, it might not seem to be much but to Dopey, the polar bear sow was beautiful. Dopey might have found his mate but it will be a competition from his older and stronger brothers.

Chapter 4: Competition.
Snow White awoke and gave off her mating scent and Dopey follow her around. The other six grizzly brothers also smelt, Snow White’s mating scent and followed her. The grizzly bear brothers began fighting with each other. This included the normally timid Bashful.
As Snow White released more of her scent, more male grizzly bears came into the scent a fought each other. Doc and Grumpy defeated some of the older male grizzly bears and entered the mating season. All the other grizzly brothers which were larger than average were also included, however, the days of dwelling and foraging together was gone. The seven grizzly brothers parted ways. Dopey followed Snow White and fought off other male grizzly bears along the way. The rest of the grizzly brothers went after other female bears.
Despite the fact the grizzly brothers were only young, they were not excluded from mating by the older grizzly bears. In fact they were at least as large or heavy as the oldest male grizzly bear (killed by Doc).
Doc had won the title as the most dominant male grizzly bear. Grumpy was only second in line. All seven grizzly brothers were included in mating. They were pretty big males to begin with. Dopey was the only average male only got to mate with the younger female grizzly bears despite not being excluded from the mating scene. He was defeated by an older male grizzly bear who Snow White had chosen as his mate.
Snow White had become pregnant to a male grizzly named Prince. They enjoyed their honeymoon for a while. However, unlike the fairy tale where they lived happily ever after, the honey moon came to an end. Prince and Snow White parted ways a few weeks later. Snow White looked for a den to hibernate but was chased off by an older female grizzly who got there first. Snow White finally found an empty den (the former home of the seven grizzly brothers which had parted ways forever). Snow White went to sleep. The next time the grizzly brothers meet, it will be as enemies.

Chapter 5: The grandchildren of Lars Maritimus.
Snow White went into a cave and gave birth to a five grolar bear cubs. The grolar bears cubs consist on one male and three females. Each of the cubs had a unique personality. The male cub had the exact personality of his late grandfather, Lars Maritimus.
No female polar bear had migrated as far from the tundra as Snow White did. However, during the mating season, there were plenty of grolar bears around which have been the reason why more young male grizzly bears than usual have been excluded from the mating season. The only reason why the seven male grizzly brothers have not been excluded is because they are larger than average grizzly bears.
The three granddaughters of Lars Maritimus had three different personalities. The oldest female having the same adventurous personality as Snow White, the second female cub had a more reserved personality, and the youngest cub had a very clingy personality.
Regardless, it is going to be a handful for Snow White to protect her cubs on her own as there are many dangers out there including the seven grizzly brothers.

Chapter 6: The dangers present.
Snow White and her cubs survived the winter and emerged during spring. Her first encounter was with a big male smilodon populator eating a bison carcass. Snow White attacked the smilodon populator even though it would put her life at risk. This is because she would not tolerate any animal near her cubs plus she could not out run a smilodon populator. The Sabre toothed cat temporarily retreated.
However, the Sabre toothed cat attacked Snow White just as she began to eat the bison carcass. A brief fight happened and the smilodon populator managed to pin down Snow White. While a large male polar bear could have killed this smilodon populator, Snow White did not possess that kind of strength.
Just as Snow White was about to be killed, Doc arrived out of nowhere and attacked the smilodon populator. The silvery blue grizzly bear broke one of the smilodon populator’s canines and chased it off. Doc was about to turn on Snow White’s cubs but Grumpy who wanted the bison carcass for himself attacked Doc. This gave Snow White and her cubs time to escape. Gone are the days of friendship from the two brothers. The silvery blue grizzly bears are now mortal enemies. Doc defeated Grumpy but not without wounds inflicted. Nevertheless, Doc enjoyed the bison carcass.
Grumpy took out his anger on an Alaskan tiger (which had just killed an elk). Grumpy is the only grizzly bear which would regularly go out of his way to attack smilodon populators and Alaskan tigers even when there is no reason to. This is probably Grumpy taking out his frustration from not being able to become the dominant male grizzly, thanks to the presence of Doc.
Snow White had to use fight rather than flight considering most animals in Alaska are faster than she is. Her white fur provides little camouflage. Her second encounter was with a large male Alaskan tiger. This male Alaskan tiger had just been chased off his carcass by Grumpy and the striped cat now wants a meal. The Alaskan tiger attacked and ambushed Snow White. The female polar bear fought for her life and use her greater weight and more flexible forearms to shake off the Alaskan tiger. Snow White managed to push the Alaskan tiger off before biting into its throat and breaking the 600 pound striped cat’s neck. Snow White won the fight but was severely lacerated. While even a relatively small 800 pound male polar bear could I still fear in a big male Alaskan tiger, it is out of the ordinary that Snow White at 1000 pounds would be attacked. This scene is slightly similar to Siberian tigers preying on female Ussuri brown bears yet leaving the large males alone.
Snow White spotted Happy, Sleepy, Sneezy, Bashful, and Dopey at the river fishing for salmons. Knowing that these male grizzlies are not as aggressive as their two older brothers as well as being heavier than them, Snow White chased them off taking the best fishing spot for herself and her cubs. Snow White is actually the heaviest female bear in the area.
She still has to watch out for Doc and Grumpy as these two silvery blue grizzlies would readily kill her to get her back into reproduction cycle. Snow White also had to watch out for bald eagles and golden eagles which are large enough to snatch her cubs.

Chapter 7: Chased off.
Three years passed quickly and Snow White was entering her reproduction cycle again. She had already stop lactating and cares little for her cubs now.
Grumpy seeing a potential threat as next in line to becoming the dominant male chased off Snow White’s male cub. Snow White’s three daughters left their mother shortly.
Grumpy showed an interest towards Snow White but was attacked by Prince. The fight was brutal and Prince was defeated by Grumpy. Snow White, however, had wandered off. She still gave off her scent and any male grizzly which picks it up might stop fighting and follow her to pass on their DNA.
The fight between the Alaskan grizzly bears was intense. Doc once again became won the total as the dominant male and had reached 2500 pounds. He is now even heavier than Lars Maritimus. Grumpy had reached 2400 pounds. Prince was only 2000 pounds. Happy had reached 1800 pounds, Sleepy and Sneezy had reached 2000 pounds. Bashful had reached 2200 pounds and Dopey had now reached 1700 pounds. Snow White remained at 1000 pounds.
Snow White wandered away from these grizzly bears which were once again fighting as they used to every mating season. Prince once again impregnated Snow White as he was smart enough to stop fighting and followed her scent while the grizzly brothers were fighting among themselves and other male grizzly bears.

Chapter 8: The attack of the brontornis flock.
Four years passed like that, Snow White is now 10.5 years old. Doc is now fully grown at 2700 pounds. Grumpy had reached 2600 pounds. The rest of the grizzly brothers had surpassed 2000 pounds (Sleepy and Sneezy at 2200 pounds each, Bashful at 2300 pounds) all except Happy who has just reach 2000 pounds and Dopey who had reached 1900 pounds. The older fully grown 12 year old Prince still at 2000 pounds has once again managed to mate with Snow White again.
Mating season is coming again but little did the grizzly brothers realise the new danger that was coming. During his honeymoon, Grumpy, the silvery blue grizzly bear chased off an Alaskan tiger and smilodon populator which were feeding on a bison carcass side by side. Grumpy fed on the bison carcass accompanied by his mate, a female grolar bear.
As Grumpy and his mate were feeding, a feeling of fear took over the female grolar bear and she fled. Grumpy looked up and wandered what was happening but he continued eating. The silvery blue grizzly bear looked up again only to find himself surrounded by a flock of brontornis. With nowhere to run, Grumpy attacked the brontornis leader but was killed by the rest of the flock. Grumpy was one character who would rather die than run which is why he did not attempt to escape with his mate.
Doc in the meantime attacked and killed several male grizzly bears during mating season but he himself was also killed by a flock of brontornis just like his younger twin, Grumpy. With the death of the only two Silvery blue grizzly bears, Prince became the dominant male in the area. Bashful was the largest grizzly bear alive but he was not aggressive enough.
Why did the brontornis flocks attack and kill both Doc and Grumpy? While brontornis and grizzly bears generally leave each other alone, Doc and Grumpy has a habit of raiding the nests of the brontornis flicks while the adult birds were out hunting, killing their eggs and chicks. The brontornis birds have choosen the right time for revenge. Doc and Grumpy has been the top two most powerful mammalian carnivores in their area but they finally met their match in the form of brontornis flocks.
The legacy of Doc and Grumpy remain in their cubs which consists of both grizzly bears and even grolar bears. These are the only two silvery blue grizzlies on the planet. These two male silvery blue grizzlies regularly rob smilodon populators, Xenosmilus hodsonaes, and Alaskan tigers from their kills something which other male grizzlies seldom do. Female grizzlies avoid these powerful cats to give their cubs maximum security and the males prefer to be where the females are. These cats are themselves formidable animals (which have preyed on bears up to the largest female grizzlies).

Chapter 9: The legacy of snow white.
The daughter of Lars Maritimus was the only female polar bear which permanently made her home out of the tundra. She has gave birth to plenty of grolar bears cubs during her lifetime. Grolar bears are much larger but less aggressive than grizzlies while at the same time smaller and not as powerful as the late male polar bears.
Many of the grolar bears are the offspring of Prince and Snow White but also the grandchildren of the late Lars Maritimus. In fact the increased number of grolar bears repopulated the North Pole once again. The grolar bears have similar habits to the late polar bears and actually travel long distances and do not hibernate but they are most terrestrial bases unlike the late polar bears.
Snow White is the last female polar bear and she lived a ripe old age. As for Prince, he was ultimately killed by a younger male grizzly bear when he reached 15 years old. The remaining five grizzly brothers also sired many grolar bear cubs despite the fact none of them had the chance to mate with Snow White. The only other male grizzly bears which managed to mate with Snow White was young males which are larger but not as aggressive as Doc or Grumpy. This is the reason why they are many huge grolar bears in the North Pole now.

Chapter 10: The largest grolar bears.
The two largest grolar bears which ever existed are the two sons of Prince and Snow White which weighs 3000 pounds each and the ten youngest sons of the younger but full grown adult male grizzly bear which killed Prince during mating season and became Snow White’s new suitor.
The Artic became populated by grolar bears and thanks to the absence of human intervention, the average weight of male grolar bears are now equal or larger than the average weight of the late polar bears and Kodiak bears.
The remaining five grizzly brothers lived a ripe old age too. It sometimes pays not to be overly aggressive like Doc and Grumpy especially on an earth with an abundance of predators yet these two silvery blue grizzlies have made a legacy for themselves. End of Book 2.
