The ultimate book of big cats : your guide to the secret lives of these fierce, fabulous felines / Steve Winter and Sharon Guynup.

Winter, Steve, (author.). Guynup, Sharon, (author.).

Summary:

"A LEOPARD LEAPS into a tree with prey twice its weight. A LION lets out a ROAR and lunges at a wildebeest across the golden plains. A JAGUAR silently STALKS a deer through the dense, dark jungle. Through famed National Geographic photographer Steve Winter's legendary, award-winning lens, readers will get up close and personal with the "big four"--lions, tigers, jaguars, and leopards--presented against their stunning natural landscapes, and go beyond to explore other show-stopping wild cats like snow leopards, cheetahs. Through information-packed profiles and loads of super-cool stats and wow-worthy fun facts, kids will become mini experts on their favorite feline predators. From the fastest cat on the plains to amazing feats and adaptations, from who's King of the pride to hide-and-seek champs, this will be the ultimate book for animal lovers of all ages!"-- Provided by publisher.
