The World of Bears - Library Binding

by Judy Thorpe (Author)

Although bears are well-known and generally beloved animals, they are often highly misunderstood. For example, many people believe an encounter with any bear will result in certain death, but bears of all species rarely attack humans. From the powerful grizzlies of North America to the elusive South American spectacled bear, this volume explores the habitats, behaviors, and conservation efforts surrounding the world's eight bear species. The engaging main text, augmented with stunning full-color photos and fascinating fact boxes, shines a spotlight on the lives of these amazing creatures.
