World of the polar bear

Więcej o książce

World of the Polar Bear enchants the reader with over 112 magnificent color photographs complemented by archival photographs and etchings. Bruemmer relates adventurers' tales, biologists' details, and his own intimate experience of what has been called "the Arctic ring of life." He describes the polar bear's hunting, mating and birthing rituals, the unique symbiotic relationship that exists between the polar bear and the seals who share its icy habitat, and the bear's more tentative association with modern man. He evokes the excitement of the moment he ventured to touch a bear, the time a bear surprised him outside the safety of the Tundra Buggy, or the tragic time a fellow bear watcher got too close.
