Reviews

[Sophie Crane · Rating 5 out of 5]

i really enjoyed the big cat diary television series and was interested to learn more about the characters in the show. this book does not disappoint and gives a marvellous insight into lives of individual lives. Jonathan and Angie Scott also give much information on the history of big cats, how they evolved and reasons for their pride and hunting behaviour. there really is too much information to cover in a short review but together with outstanding photographs from these well known wildlife photographers, this really is an essential read for anyone interested in the lives of the big cats.
