Download or read book Barle s Story written by Else Poulsen and published by Greystone Books Ltd. This book was released on 2014 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When a 19-year old female polar bear named Barle is rescued from the inhumane conditions of a circus in the Caribbean and flown to safety in Detroit, zookeeper Else Poulsen -- renowned throughout the world for her work rehabilitating bears who have been abused -- is on hand to meet her and help her on the road to recovery and self-discovery. Thus begins Barle's gradual introduction into the world of polar bears. Slowly she forges relationships with the other bears in the zoo and eventually mates with a young male and successfully raises a cub. By living in a caring, enriched environment focused on her welfare, Barle is able to recover from the trauma she had suffered at the circus and develop skills that are important to thriving as a polar bear. As Poulsen documents, however, not all captive bears are so fortunate. Augmented with black-and-white photographs, Barle's Story provides a rich and moving portrait of a remarkable bear and of the author's inspiring work to help her discover her true polar bear ways.

Download or read book Speaking of Bears written by Rachel Mazur and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2015-05-01 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As majestic as they are dangerous, and as timeless as they are current, bears continue to captivate readers. Speaking of Bears is not your average collection of stories. Rather it is the history, compiled from interviews with over 100 individuals, of how Yosemite, Sequoia, and Kings Canyon National Parks, all in California’s Sierra Nevada, created a human-bear problem so bad that there were eventually over 2,000 incidents in a single year. It then describes the pivotal moments during which park employees used trial-and-error, conducted research, invented devices, collaborated with other parks, and found funding to get the crisis back under control. Speaking of Bears is for bear lovers, national park buffs, historians, wildlife managers, biologists, policy and grant-makers, and anyone who wants to know the who, what, where, when, and why of what once was a serious human-bear problem, and the path these parks took to correct it. Although these Sierran parks had some of the worst black bear problems in the country, hosted much of the research, and invented the bulk of the technological solutions, they were not the only ones. For that reason, intertwining stories from several other parks including Yellowstone, the Great Smoky Mountains, and Banff-Canada are included. For anyone seeking solutions to human-wildlife conflicts throughout the world, the lessons-learned are invaluable and widely applicable.

Download or read book Bear in the Bathtub written by Kathleen Dent and published by Farcountry Press. This book was released on 2019-05-21 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mia is a curious girl, and the thing she loves most is being outdoors in the big, beautiful world. Every day Mia races out the door, eager to explore, experiment, play, and learn. And every day she is reluctant to come back inside. There is just too much tromping and tramping and discovering to do! She doesn’t want to end her fun – not even for dinner, and ESPECIALLY not for a bath. Mia’s in luck, though, because every night she finds a bear in the bathtub, so her skeptical mom is forced to send her off to bed without a bath. But WHAT is that bear doing in the bathtub, anyway? Elementary and Middle School Students from across the United States were asked to imagine just that. Their artwork combines with that of Alli DePuy to bring lively text from Kathleen Dent to life. A non-fiction section based on the research of Dr. Michael Sawaya, a carnivore ecologist with Sinopah Wildlife Research Associates, explains the science behind bathing bears everywhere and why it is important to understand their behavior in our changing climate. Bear in the Bathtub is a collaborative effort that combines the work of teachers, students, scientists, and conservationists to deliver a book that will ignite curiosity about bear behavior and then teach children the biological reasons for it using text that is interesting, approachable, and based on a current, reviewed scientific study conducted in Yellowstone National Park. Readers will be inspired to get outside, use their imaginations, and discover what is happening in the wilder corners of their world.
