This title is an acquisition.
This instructive film is about the characteristics and habits of bears in their natural environment. As well, it is a plea for respect for the bear, and a cautionary lesson on the dangers to be expected from "spoiled" bears. Spoiled bears are ones who have become addicted to human food left in our national parks by careless campers and hikers. The film shows both the black bear and the grizzly in action, and also describes the bear-management program instituted by Parks Canada.
