Realms of the Russian bear
(
Visual
)
1 edition published in 1992 in English and held by 11 WorldCat member libraries worldwide Fifth in a series of six programs on the natural history of Russia and the central Asian republics. This segment explores Siberia, stretching across the northern reaches of Russia, a land of extremes and superlatives. It has the greatest forest on earth, an immense expanse of spruce, pine and fir spanning 6,000 miles. From the wolves and the elks to the musk deer, all its inhabitants have one thing in common: the ability to survive temperatures which can plummet to 90 degrees below zero. Lake Baikal, in the southeast, is the oldest and deepest on earth and is home to a host of unusual creatures. Descending to depths of more than 2,500 feet, cameras catch glimpses of the lake's hidden denizens--forests of sponges, transparent fish, and bizarre crustaceans found nowhere else. Baikal, too, falls under the reign of the bears, who emerge in vast numbers from the forest to hunt along the edge of the lake
