Abstract: The polar bear, the king of the Arctic, is one of the most recognizable animals in the world. The images of the majestic animals roaming through the ice, plunging into the frigid waters, and play with the puppies fur have come to symbolize the beauty and grandeur of the Arctic. Andrew E. Derocher and Wayne Lynch has spent decades as a result of the bear, and this book offers the most comprehensive review and read its biology, ecology, behavior and conservation.



With pictures gripping Lynch, a nature photographer par excellence, and personal stories of Derocher, this book is so great to see because it is a fascinating read. He weaves his remarkable experiences of the last search to tell the incredible story of these predators of the Arctic, the tracing of animals to their evolutionary roots and looking to the future of polar bears in warming of planet Earth.


through language informative and interesting, Derocher explains carefully the ecosystem of the sea ice is essential for the survival of polar bears. It deals with the threat of global warming in the Arctic - polar bears home for tens of thousands of years - and impressive details of their eating habits, distribution, ecology, and breeding den. Striking photos of Lynch capture all this and more, as the chronicle of the wide range of behavior of polar bears, the rituals of the family of predatory beasts.

captivating, accurate and challenging polar bears
