Product Information

In addition to the support of the pinniped–amphicynodontine clade, other morphological and some molecular evidence supports bears being the closest living relatives to pinnipeds.

More than 12,000 bears are thought to be kept on farms in China, Vietnam, and South Korea for the production of bile. They have a thick layer of blubber for extra insulation, and the soles of their feet have a dense pad of fur. A male bear may visit a female continuously over a period of several days or weeks, depending on the species, to test her reproductive state. Unlike many other carnivorans they have color vision, perhaps to help them distinguish ripe nuts and fruits.It is unclear whether late-Eocene ursids were also present in Eurasia, although faunal exchange across the Bering land bridge may have been possible during a major sea level low stand as early as the late Eocene (about 37Mya) and continuing into the early Oligocene. Ursidae (Mammalia, Carnivora) from the Late Oligocene of the "Phosphorites du Quercy" (France) and a reappraisal of the genus Cephalogale Geoffroy, 1862". Brilliantly observed, drily funny and deeply grim, this is another fantastic example of Tchaikovsky’s considerable talents. The Bear's Head, Brereton, is perfectly equipped to accommodate your requirements, no matter what the occasion.

Species of Ursinae have migrated repeatedly into North America from Eurasia as early as 4 Mya during the early Pliocene.A widespread belief among cultures of North America and northern Asia associated bears with shaman; this may be based on the solitary nature of both.

During hibernation, the bear's metabolism slows down, its body temperature decreases slightly, and its heart rate slows from a normal value of 55 to just 9 beats per minute. Bear Head is a sequel, did you already have this story planned or did you have to see where the story/characters took you after completing the first book? The book at times feels like a political thriller, do you think science fiction is a good way to explore that genre?Prehistoric North and South American short-faced bears were the largest species known to have lived. Bears may attack humans in response to being startled, in defense of young or food, or even for predatory reasons.
