Bears of North America
North America is home to three of the eight bear species found worldwide. We will review the natural history of the Black, Brown, and Polar Bear. We will look at some of the interesting subspecies of bears, including the ABC, Glacier, Spirit, and the Kenai brown bear. Safety in bear country, as well as places to see bears, will be included.
David Govatski retired from the US Forest Service after a 33-year career and currently works as a ship naturalist in Alaska during the summer. He has visited and studied bears throughout North America.
