Summary, Etc. Note: |
Summary: The grizzly bear offers an eminently readable natural history of Ursus arctos horribilis: its physiology, mating habits, cub rearing, social relations, predation, aggression, and extraordinary variety of behavior. With a rich and perceptive narrative, McNamee shows us why this magnificent creature matters so much. |
