• Did you know that bears are not the clumsy, lumbering animals which they are often perceived to be—they can actually outrun humans with very little effort at all?
• Did you know that bears do not hibernate, they actually enter into a deep sleep from which they can easily be roused?
These and many other fascinating facts about bears, including little known species inhabiting South America, China and India, are explored in this beautifully illustrated volume.
Entertaining and informative, BEARS is just one title from the highly collectable series of Portraits Of The Auimal World. It will be treasured by anyone seeking a better understanding of the animal kingdom, as well as by admirers of these majestic creatures. Vissza
