Rough play in the fells

Excerpt on back:
When the plants fight for living space,mainly the soil and climate decide where they grow.
The wind mixes the deck of cards and the snow deals them. The destiny of the plants is to
content themselves with their cards and play agaisnt each other as well as they can.

Fat from berries: What a Brown Bear feels after waking up from winter sleep is well-know 
to us all. It makes your stomach rumble and your head dizzy - hunger!
The preferred spring meal for the Bear is a Moose, which has a difficult time 
running away in the soft snow. The chase ends in a huge forehand stroke and a
crushing bite.
Preparing for winter,the king opf the forest eats lots, especially berries. The Bear has to tuck
in a huge number of berries,as it needs about one third of its weight, i.e. 50-100 kilograms,of fat to manage through the winter.
