Bears

From the fearsome grizzly of North America to the giant panda in the remotest regions of China, bears have long captured the human imagination. This volume offers an insight into the lives of these shy and uncompromising wild creatures. Discover how they live, examine the differences between the many species and learn how they cope with their diverse habitats. Five focus sections allow the reader to observe detailed aspects of bear and panda life, such as the behaviour of the giant brown bears of Kodiak Island and how polar bear migration brings a town in Canada to a standstill. Myth boxes explore popular stories about bears and pandas, and "Did You Know?" features provide quirky facts.
