Huge, powerful and fearless is Nanook, the polar bear. Standing 10 feet tall on its hind legs and weighing more than 1,600 pounds, the polar bear is renowned for its singular ferociousness. It survives on the starkly beautiful and unforgiving arctic tundra, moving with the floating ice to raise its young and hunt for seals. With its tufted ears, snowy white coat and coal-black eyes and nose, the polar bear is arrestingly photogenic. In this collection of remarkable photographs we discover the polar bear as not only a formidable predator but also a loving parent and natural jester. World-renowned photographer Norbert Rosing has been a leader in raising awareness of this majestic creature and the increasing threats to its survival. In Polar Bears 2009, his engaging photographs and informative captions invite us into a world that few are privileged to see.

Why 2 nails to hang this calendar???,
By Janie Eilers "Farmer's Daughter" (Minneapolis, MN United States) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Polar Bears 2009 (Calendar) (Calendar)
The calendar comes with two holes for hanging. Weird! I punched a center hole so that I could re-use the hook that I've used for decades to hang all of my previous calendars. Other than that, I love the calendar, but think that the hanging method should be standarized.
