Description
Deep in the Pyrenees, before dawn, a park ranger named Benoît sits perfectly still behind a boulder, binoculars raised. Mist drifts across the stream below. Then, from the trees, a shape emerges: broad shoulders, a rolling gait, a nose lifted to the wind. He forgets to breathe. Thirty years on the job, and it still feels like the first time.
This box honors that rare thrill of seeing something truly wild. A brown bear is portrayed in realistic detail, his coat painted in rich natural tones of chestnut and umber. He looks at home on the mantel of a log cabin, on a bookshelf beside field guides, or on the desk of a forester, hunter or nature photographer. Give him to someone who has just returned from a trip to Alaska or Yellowstone, or to a child who sleeps with a stuffed bear every night. Inside, a compartment keeps jewelry or small treasures safe.
