Tooth Claw: The Wild World of Big Predators

Lions and tigers and bears . . . and WOLVES—oh, my! Acclaimed nature writer and illustrator Jim Arnosky introduces awe-inspiring wild predators: carnivores that survive by tooth and claw. Follow the huge paw prints of big cats like the African lion and the speedy cheetah; of massive bears like the fierce grizzly; and the gray wolf—forerunner of your own pet dog. One spectacular double gatefold plus two single foldouts present the animals up close and lifelike!
