| Publisher Description: Embark on a magnificent adventure in the trails of the big cat animals, all belonging to the Panthera family. With stunning photos, exciting field stories and informative factual texts, the photographer Jan Fleischmann and the factual writer Maria Veneke Ylikomi guide the readers to the large cats' territories; the tiger's jungles, the savannahs and bush forests where the lion and leopard are residing, and the rivers and wetlands where the mighty jaguar is roaming. We also meet the fifth member of the Panthera family, the elusive snow leopard, who is the master of the mountains in Central Asia. What's on the jaguar's menu? How does the tiger live? Who are the enemies of the lion? How to see the difference between a jaguar and a leopard? The answers are found in the book, where we also get acquainted with some of the scientists and nature guides who are fighting for the big threatened felines. |
