Product Description
Humans have long regarded the "King of the Beasts" with awe. The dominant predator in Africa, the lion stalks relatively large prey animals in fairly open country and feedS on a variety of prey species. Still, their numbers are declining almost everywhere.
With its authoritative information based on world-recognized research, up-to-date information, and spectacular color photography and range maps, Lions helps readers of all ages discover fascinating facts about this phenomenal animal. This book is a wonderful general introduction to the remarkably adaptable lion, providing information on its characteristics, its pride (the long-lasting core of lion society), its uniquely social nature, studies in the wild, and the great conservation efforts being made on behalf of the Asiatic subspecies of lion. For ages 10+.
