Eyewitness Bear

From the giant polar bear to the Malaysian sun bear, from the teddy bear to A.A. Milne's "Bear of Very Little Brain," DK Vision covers all its bases in Eyewitness: Bear. Amazing images and insightful narration show these cousins of dogs in nature, in history, and in our mythology. Perhaps they play such a large role in our lives because they were such fierce competition for our hunter-gatherer ancestors. Omnivorous and playful, ferocious and adorable, they occupy many often-contradictory niches in our minds. DK Vision explores all these niches and gives us the lowdown on the eight species of bears that lumber across Asia and the Americas, delighting adults and children alike. Eyewitness: Bear is the perfect viewing for just before a long winter's hibernation! --Rob Lightner
