Field guide Huw Lewis Jones takes readers out into the wild to
discover all there is to know and love about the eight different
species of bears. Do you know your panda from your polar bear? Or
can you spot the difference between a sun bear and a sloth bear?
Follow your expert field guide as we travel deep into the woods to
learn all the 'bear' necessities. Bears are familiar to us all, but

are wild animals who really need our help. So put on your walking

eight incredible bear species in the wild. Not only will you
discover why bears poop so much, you'll also find out how to avoid
getting eaten by one, and what we can do to protect them.
