In the realm of the bears

The fascinating life of gentle giants

Moritz Klose takes us on a journey into the mysterious world of bears. His book is dedicated to questions of the distribution and behaviour of these magnificent creatures. He also examines whether and how coexistence with bears and other large wild animals is possible at all in our densely populated cultural landscape. In doing so, Klose draws on his diverse personal experiences with bears: He tracks brown bears in Romania, talks to grizzly researchers in Alaska and gets caught between animal rights activists and anti-bear campaigners in Bavaria. He talks about Bruno and Gaia and the special challenges of humans and bears living together. Moritz Klose takes a very unique look at the gentle giants of the forest.
