Seton's Wild Animals (Japanese: シートン動物記, Hepburn: Shīton Dōbutsuki) is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Sanpei Shirato published in two parts: three volumes published by Shogakukan from 1961 to 1962, and two volumes published by Seirindō in 1964 under the title Grizzly Bear Story (灰色熊の伝記, Haiiroguma no Denki). All five volumes were based on works by noted author and wildlife artist Ernest Seton, and used text written by Kenji Uchiyama (who translated all of Seton's work into Japanese).
In 1963, the manga, together with Shirato's other series Sasuke (サスケ), won the 4th Kodansha Children's Manga Award.[1]
