A fantastic book for anyone who is interested in big cats. The book covers all eight of the world's big cat species, giving details on such things as; population status,habitat,prey and physical characteristics. With stunning photo's and a clear and concise text, this really is a must for anyone who has a love for these majestic creatures.

This book is a excellent reference for the person who wishes to learn about the "Big" Cats and the "Great" Cats. It goes into detail on all species including sub-species, range, habitat, behavior, the status on threatend species and the tragedy of now extinct species. Superb photography and graphs make this book the perfect addition for your library. The references section of this book also points out other publications which would be benificial to the reader

This is among the best books I've ever read. It has my top 8 most favorite animals, the eight big cats, in it, the information is etched in terrific print and detail, you can learn tons from it, and the photos are absolutely glamourous. There are few, if any, large cats I have seen photographed that are more beautiful than the ones in this book. Any cat lover should buy it. By the way, here are the eight big cats, in the order I like them(I love them all, but this is just how MUCH) Okay then, my lineup! Here goes:

1. Lions and Lionesses

2. Tigers and Tigresses

3. Jaguars and Jaguaresses

4. Leopards and Leopardesses

5. Cougars and Cougresses

6. Snow Leopards and Snow Leopardesses

7. Cheetahs and Cheetahesses

8. Clouded Leopards and Clouded Leopardesses.

Sensing a trend here? If you are, good. You want to learn and love the beautiful and majestic animals that are the big cats? Buy this book. It's as good as they get. At least in some ways.

I have admired the "big cats" all my life; they are such beautiful and noble creatures. Recently a six year old neighbor boy said that they had talked about the big cats in kindergarten. He was SO EXCITED and enthusiastic, and knew about the remarkable "black panther" - the rare black leopard. I decided to find him a book about the big cats on Amazon. Having found this stupendously wonderful book "Big Cats (Wildlife)" I not only bought one for him, but one for myself as well. The book chapters cover all species of big cats, and the photos are really superior and beautiful. On the left side is a full page photo; on the right side a full page writeup of that particular big cat. At age six he can only admire the photos, but will soon read about all of them. I am, of course, thrilled with my own copy which will be treasured.
Bottom line - this is a fantastic book for anyone who admires the big cat species of our world. I would highly recommend it without any reservations.

Great book with a lot of information of the big cats of the present and their fossil records too.
