Feeding the Bears

Twenty Minutes

Available for over a year

In the interval to his Big Bear Hunt at the Proms this afternoon, writer and former Children's Laureate Michael Rosen pursues his ursine quarry from the world of music into the real-life beary environment of Whipsnade Zoo at feeding time. He hears from Steph Baker, Whipsnade's "bear presenter", the grizzly facts of bear-life and from visitors about the eternal fascination the animals hold for humans.
