Living Wild: Black Bears (Paperback)

Large nose wiggles ... Wide paws climb ... Meet the black bear! Brimming with vivid photos and scientific facts, this middle-grade nonfiction book treats researchers and wild animal lovers to a comprehensive profile of these magical mammals. It covers zoology topics such as anatomy, diet, habitat, and life cycle, as well as species conservation efforts and the animals' relationship with humans throughout history. Sidebars, a range map, and a glossary support the main text, while an American Indian story about the black bear adds a cross-curricular cultural layer to the title.
