[Clare O'Beara · Rating 3 out of 5]

I first encountered this as an excerpt in a book of animal stories for young readers. Nature red in tooth and claw was very much present; this may have presented a good picture of the American mountain lion and its world, but it did not make me rush out to buy the book.

Suffice to say that when I later read the whole it was a portrait of an intelligent predator from birth to death in his wild environment. However as the big cat does not interact in a friendly way with humans, this book was destined not to become so famous as stories of wolf-dogs or mustangs.

The author stood for animal welfare and wrote many books.
