Text of Note

From lions to house cats, cheetahs to panthers, and including detailed descriptions and information on each of the 36 species of cats as well as numerous photographs, this is the most comprehensive reference on felids available. Each account of the thirty-six species of cat contains a description of the cat, including human interactions with it, as well as detailed data on distribution, ecology and behavior, status in the wild, and conservation efforts. Many photographs, including more than forty in full color, illustrate these accounts.
