Heuer, Karsten Being Caribou : Five Months on Foot with a Caribou Herd (Children's Edition)
New York, NY, USA Walker & Company 2007 080279565X / 9780802795656 First Edition Hard Cover New New
The unique journey of the only human members of a caribou herd. In one of Earth’s most amazing migrations, more than 100,000 caribou endure arctic blizzards, climb over mountain passes, and forge icy rivers. Pregnant caribou trek more than 1,000 miles, risking attack from hungry wolves, huge grizzly bears, and voracious, blood-sucking insects in order to reach the one safe place to give birth: the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. This is a potentially deadly voyage for any caribou. But for a human? Unheard of. Or it was until the author and his new wife began an unusual honeymoon: migrating by foot and skis, with the Porcupine caribou herd. The Heuers have taken us along on their journey to understand these arctic animals, their birth cycle, the bonding between mother and calves, the hardships they endure and the threats they continue to face, first through an internationally acclaimed National Film Board of Canada film and adult book of the same title, and now in a photographic children’s version for the young environmentally minded. Stunning photographs of this grand adventure help readers understand these incredible arctic animals and the threats they continue to face from both humans and nature. 48 pages.
