Book Synopsis



What's Bruin? True Tales and Tall Memories from Bear Country by Larry Kaniut

When Larry Kaniut's wife, Pamela, suggested he write a book about "non-violent" bear encounters, she probably didn't imagine the result would be this much fun.

In What's Bruin?, the bestselling author of Alaska Bear Tales turns his keen eye and trademark humor toward the lighter side of bear life. These pages explore the behavior, intelligence, and quirks of bears through real accounts both comical and curious. Readers meet Stan Price-the old-timer who raised eighty-two orphaned brown bear cubs-and follow Norway's famed outdoorsman Lars Monsen across Admiralty and Kodiak Islands as he encounters bruins in their natural world.

Drawing on decades of firsthand experience and fresh discoveries, Kaniut reveals surprising truths about bear behavior, misused pepper spray, misunderstood attacks, and even Alaska's celebrity polar bears, Binky and Nuka.

Blending curiosity, research, and good humor, What's Bruin? offers readers a front-row seat to the secret life of bears-a collection of true stories that entertain, educate, and remind us why these remarkable creatures continue to fascinate us all.

A must-read for bear enthusiasts and outdoor adventure lovers!
