Tracking Triple Seven: Grizzly of the Tundra Book

Tracking Triple Seven gives a "bear's-eye view" of the arctic grizzly. Witness the birth of three tiny cubs in a frozen tundra den. Share in the troubles and triumphs of a bear family's quest to claim its rightful place in the biggest wilderness on earth. And join Benji, a city slicker kid who visits his father's arctic diamond mine. Benji's adventures take off when he accidentally joins a team of grizzly bear biologists and their Inuk pilot. Together they mix cutting-edge technology with good old bush wisdom in a death-defying warch for the "Real Grizzly" of the arctic barrens.

Grizzlies are fascinating animals, and most of us know very little about them. This book brings us the story of a bear called Triple Seven, with a tracking collar monitored by a group of biologists, and Benji, a diamond mine owner's son, who becomes a part of this wildlife team. Watching through the eyes of the team how Triple Seven has her cubs and teaches them to get adjusted to the wild is one story. Another story is the growth of Benji, who learns all the new technology involved and comes to appreciate the grizzly. Animal lovers will enjoy this book and find themselves with increased knowledge as well.
