The Bear

Norwegian title: Bjørnen

Roger BrendhagenOle Mathismoen

Did you know that bears don't hibernate, but just sleep deeply through the winter? Or that they are often up all night in the summer? And did you know that bears are the only predator that poops on themselves if they are startled? Or that their favorite food is ants and berries? Do you know where you can find a bear den? Or why it's not a good idea to try to run from a bear? You probably know that bears can roar, but did you know that they can whistle? They can also grunt like pigs, moo like cows and bark like dogs.

This is the first book in the magnificent series about Norway's wild animals, from the author of the award-winning bestseller Nordic Nature, Ole Mathismoen. Unique world-class photographs from Roger Brendhagen, with entertaining and engaging text. The book also has illustrations by the award-winning artist Esther van Hulsen.

You have never been closer to our wild animals!
