Book Description Condition: new. (Hardcover, 1975). (1975) 1975 1st UK edition. Large 8vo (152 x 233mm). Pp328. B/w photograph plates, bibliography. Brown cloth, spine titled in gilt. Boards slightly bowed. Good-plus in faded, frayed dust-wrapper. "This is the first comprehensive book on [wild cats] for many years, includes all known species and incorporates the new research of the last thirty years. The author, well-known for his books on wildlife and for pioneer research work on the habits of lion and cheetah, covers all aspects of the lives of these sometimes mysterious animals, bringing the touch of long personal experience in many cases. From the lion, whether the sleepy king of the jungle or the almost legendary 'man-eaters of Tsavo', to the persecuted ocelot, the fishing cat and the serval, all are described with notes on their appearance, habits and distribution, and with special anecdotes and points of interest. The conservation aspect and the evils of the fur trade are fully discussed." A good, readable book by an acknowledged expert. Up to date at the time of writing and still useful today. .
