Big Cats is an introduction to these extraordinary predators that have fascinated and terrified people throughout history. With full captions explaining how each species hunts and feeds, rears its young and migrates, the book is a brilliant examination in 180 outstanding photographs of this fascinating animal family.

Threatened by hunting, habitat loss, and competition with humans, big cats are so much more than just powerful predators - they are extraordinary creatures that have adapted in all kinds of ways to survive in their allotted places in the natural world.

Read Big Cats and discover the many breeds of cats including the familiar faces of the African lion, Bengal tiger, puma, Canadian lynx and snow leopard, alongside exploring intriguing facts about lesser-known species such as the jaguarundi, clouded leopard, ocelot and bobcat.

The book showcases species from around the world in their stunning natural landscapes: the pumas of South America, making their home in the Andean mountains, the African lion found in the blistering sun of the savannah, and the northern lynx stalking prey in the freezing temperatures within the Arctic Circle.

With detailed captions explaining the origins, habitat and characteristics of these wild, powerful creatures, Big Cats is a lively photographic guide in 195 brilliant images.
