An exciting story about the polar bear’s struggle to survive and a unique journey into its hidden world. A polar bear’s life is a lonely one. When it’s not sleeping or resting, it walks or swims on its never-ending hunt for food. Up to a thousand kilometers per year, several hundred of those in the water. In this book, Arne Egil Tønset conveys the intense fascination many people have with the polar bear. Readers experience an unforgettable encounter with the king of the Arctic – the world’s largest predator – and an up-close look at the polar bear’s harsh living conditions, making us better equipped to understand climate change and its contexts in the Arctic’s natural environment. The book includes the latest research on animals and populations, on management and the requirements for survival. But it also has room for mythical tales of polar bears and fateful meetings between people and animals.
