Picture millions and millions of acres of tundra covered in snow. Now find a polar bear hidden beneath that snow in those millions of acres. Sounds impossible, right? Craig Perham is a wildlife biologist with the Bureau of Land Management. He has decades of experience working with bears. Join this Fireside Chat as he reveals the secrets of finding denning bears. Both polar bears and grizzly bears. Hint: It involves new technology and an old-school sleuthing technique.
This series is free and open to the public.
