We often see bears as dangerous, aggressive thieves – think Goldilocks but with a psychopathic twist. But are bears all bad, or is there a lot more to the bear than meets the eye? This remarkable film reveals the challenges bears must overcome, to show just what amazing survivors they are, from spending half their lives in a troubled, hungry sleep, to the rest of the time hunting ingeniously for food. From the Arctic, where giant polar bears go without a meal for months on end, to the fish-rich coasts of the Pacific Ocean, where patient brown bears await a flood of salmon, sometimes feasting, at other times driven to attack their own. And in the enigmatic forests of the Sea of Japan, the Asiatic black bear may find itself pursued by a deadly foe – the tiger.
