Field guide Huw Lewis Jones takes readers out into the wild to discover all there is to know and love about the eight different species of bears.

Do bears poop in the woods? Do you know your panda from your polar bear? Or can you spot the difference between a sun bear and a sloth bear? Follow your expert field guide as we travel deep into the woods to learn all the 'bear' necessities.

Bears are familiar to us all, but what you might not realise is that behind their big, grizzly image are wild animals who really need our help. So put on your walking boots, grab your binoculars and come along on a journey to see the eight incredible bear species in the wild.

Not only will you discover why bears poop so much, you'll also find out how to avoid getting eaten by one, and what we can do to protect them.
