Der Eisbär lebt in einer Welt voller Schneestürme und eisiger Temperaturen. Trotzdem hat er dieselbe Körpertemperatur wie wir. Wenn er sich aufrichtet, ist er so groß wie zwei siebenjährige Kinder übereinander und er kann übermenschlich schnell laufen. Ein echter Gigant der Arktis!

Mit ihrem einzigartigen Stil erählt Jenni Desmond von einem der größten und gefährlichsten Raubtiere der Welt, das in Zeiten des Klimawandels selbst zum Gejagten wird.
