A decent book about North American Bears (the Polar, Grizzly and Black) with decent information and lots of great pictures. Baby bears are kinda cute. Great book for an overview, my only negative comment is that it only focused on North American species (as opposed to South American, Asian or European species). Otherwise, great book.

This is a great book about bears with fantastic photos showing them in their natural habitat. It covers all four species known in North America—the black bear, brown bear or grizzly, polar bear and the rare Kermode bear on Princess Royal Island in British Columbia. I learned an abundance of diverse facts such as—polar bears are all lefties; black bears climb trees, mature grizzlies do not; that during hibernation—4 to 7 months, a bear doesn’t eat, drink or eliminate bodily waste, etc. I loved this book so much it inspired me to schedule a sight seeing bear hunt on Whistler Mountain in BC in June.
