Eight Bears: Mythic Past and Imperiled Future

5 ⭐️s  An absolutely amazingly well researched book that goes into the eight remaining bear species, their past, present and mostly bleak future. I cried several times. Had to stop taking it to work as my break time read. The bit about the sun and moon bears was especially hard to read. I knew the future of bears (like most things that share this planet with us) was dire, but this was certainly eye-opening.    April's #Naturalitsy read.

As a CA girl bears feel special and this book just solidified that. Not only was this book super interesting, it did not become textbook-y in the way some non fic can. Love!

I didn't realize how little I know about bears until I found this. Incredibly engaging, informative, and thought-provoking.
