This book gives a glimpse of one of the world’s increasingly rare species, captured on camera in its natural habitat. The book shows how polar bears, fierce predators that prey mainly on seals, can also manage a walrus for breakfast in a stomach with a capacity of 70kg. How are they adapted to survive in such inhospitable environments? Is man's contribution to global warming the greatest threat to the last refuge of the polar bear - the Arctic? With bright, easy to read and compelling text that successfully combines fascinating information with accessibility, this book can be enjoyed by everyone.
