Twelve years ago, maverick bear expert Ben Kilham tested the limits of nature by studying black bears up close and personal — becoming one of the most successful rehabilitators of black bear cubs by taking on the role of “mother” bear, interacting with the cubs as if he were their mother. Now, after raising 50 bear cubs, he is setting out to prove that bears are far more intelligent and social than scientists currently believe. Follow Kilham into the woods of New Hampshire as he gains valuable insight into the bears’ every move — and in the process, challenges mainstream theories about this misunderstood creature.
