Written by noted naturalist, Dr. James C. Halfpenny.
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.
