Yellowstone Bears in the Wild is a comprehensive portrait of grizzly bears and black bears in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem. It features new scientific research including cutting-edge discoveries about bear biology and ecology. The information is skillfully enhanced with amazing personal stories from bear biologists, park rangers, and bear watchers, and from Dr. Halfpenny’s own experiences.
Fascinating subjects include descriptions of bear sizes, bear play, curiosity, raising cubs, wolves and bears, predation and scavenging, denning and hibernation, and eating moths and worms. There are explanations of “bear art,” a bear’s “personal space,” and bear “thinking.” The book also describes how bears are responding to critical ecological changes taking place in Yellowstone. Remarkable photographs by Michael H. Francis, a renowned wildlife photographer, vividly illustrate bear behavior and biology.
