Brown Bear

Two baby brown bears are born in the mountains of Alaska. Follow them from birth to adulthood, photographed close-up in the wild by award-winning photographer Suzi Eszterhas. The text shows all the aspects of the animal's life in the wild. Watch them exploring with their mum, chasing and climbing, and then learning to catch fish and hunt for delicious clams. At last they are three years old and ready for their biggest adventure — starting families of their own. A spread at the back of the book gives further conservation information, including useful websites. Also available in the Eye on the Wild series are Cheetah, Gorilla and Lion, all by Suzi Eszterhas.

California-based wildlife photographer Suzi Eszterhas spends nine months of the year shooting a wide variety of wildlife in the field. In recent years, she has specialized in documenting family life and has become well known for her unprecedented work with newborn animals. Although Eszterhas works primarily in Africa, she has undertaken commissions and led instructional photography tours and workshops everywhere from Antarctica and the Arctic to Alaska and Montana.
