Down from the Mountain: The Life and Death of a Grizzly Bear by Bryce Andrews

4.0

This was similar to but not quite as engrossing as “American Wolf” (by Nate Blakeslee) in that they both dealt with the life and ultimate demise of an endangered apex predator in the American West. Both books capture the perilous existence of these animals as their habitat is encroached on more and more and their foraging needs push against human activity and indifference. It’s a sad tale, but at least the author, who so clearly is looking out for the benefit of these animals, outlines his own personal plans to upkeep the remaining small number of grizzlies in that area.
