Biber....Beavers

Am Sonntag gab es hier im Fernsehen Richard Attenboroughs sehenswerten Film "Grey Owl", der auf dem ungewöhnlichen Leben eines Engländers basiert, der als junger Mann in die Wildnis von Kanada auswanderte und dort indianische Lebensweisen annahm. In seiner Beziehung zur jungen Anahareo beginnt er sich für den Schutz von Bibern einzusetzen. Mehr über Grey Owl hier.

On Sunday I watched Richard Attenborough's fine movie "Grey Owl" which is based on the unusual life of an English man who decided as a young man to live in the Canadian wilderness where he adopted the way of living of Native Americans up to a point that he was believed a Native American himself.He earned his living by guided tours and hunting but in his relationship to the young woman Anahareo he becomes more and more a conservationist, committing himself to the protection of beavers.More about "Grey Owl" here.

One of his books "Pilgrims of the Wild" can be found as e-book here, that is where I found also the photos.
