After hearing the story on the news this morning, I googled it up...
Apparently this is the first known hybrid in the wild. Although not common,
in captivity they have breed the two species. I didn't realize any bear
species other than the giant panda and the spectacled bear, could possibly
interbreed.

I think you have that wrong. According to Wikipedia, all the Ursinae
species (i.e., all bears except the giant panda and the spectacled bear)
appear able to crossbreed.
