Forest Cats of North America
Autor Jerry Kobalenko Fotografii de Thomas Kitchin, Victoria Hursten Limba Engleză Paperback – 31 ian 2005
Big cats are efficient predators that once roamed from the Atlantic to the Pacific, and the Arctic to the Gulf of Mexico. Today, they are confined to scattered, remote habitats.
Forest Cats of North America is an intensive look at panthers, cougars, lynxes and bobcats, describing each species in detail. Range maps identify where the cats live and fact files feature scientific and common names, number of subspecies, physical traits, diet, life span and more. Spectacular color photographs capture these cats as they stalk, hunt and raise their young.
The fascinating evolution of big cats is covered including the differences between North American and African cats and how the cougar may well be the ancestor of the cheetah.
Forest Cats of North America is a lively, informative introduction to the continent's most elusive predators.
