Synopses & Reviews
Eight bear species live on earth today: the polar bear, brown bear, North American black bear, spectacled bear, Asiatic black bear, sloth bear, sun bear, and giant panda. From the Arctic ice cap to South American cloud forests to the Tibetan plateau, the habitats of these bear species are as diverse as their traits and behaviors.
And yet wild bears have much in common, too. Often misunderstood or exploited, bears are curious creatures with unique qualities that make
them an important part of the worlds biodiversity.
