Bearland
Karudemaa
This stunning film explores the „land“ with the highest bear density on our planet - the remote coastal regions of Northeast Asia. From the Bering Sea, where massive polar bears go without a meal for months on end, to the fish-rich coasts of the Pacific Ocean, where enormous brown bears await the annual flood of salmon, sometimes feasting, at other times driven to attack their own. And in the enigmatic forests of the Sea of Japan, the Asiatic black bear may find itself pursued by a deadly foe – the tiger. The film reveals the challenges bears must overcome, to show just what amazing survivors they are, from spending half their lives in a troubled, hungry sleep, to the rest of the time hunting ingeniously for food. Bears are often seen as dangerous, aggressive thieves. But there is a lot more to the bear than meets the eye!
