They're strong. They're powerful. They're mysterious.
Get ready to sink your teeth into the hidden worlds of the seven
spectacular big cats--and meet some of their smaller cousins--with
National Geographic Explorers Steve Winter and Sharon Guynup as your
guides.
From rarely seen snow leopards high up in the Himalaya to tigers
silently stalking prey through thick jungle to lions going in for the
kill, you'll get the inside scoop on the fascinating worlds of wild
felines and what it's like to live alongside them.
Find out how these powerful predators live, hunt, raise their cubs, and
how they have adapted to their unique environments. Which cat has the
strongest bite? What's the difference between a cougar and a mountain
lion? Why does a tiger have stripes? How do big cats' hunting skills
stack up against other top predators? The answers to all these questions
and more await in this complete compendium. With exclusive National
Geographic photographs and hair-raising behind-the-lens stories from
Winter, this book takes you up close and personal with the coolest cats
around.
