Book Synopsis Wild Cats of the World by : Luke Hunter
Download or read book Wild Cats of the World written by Luke Hunter and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2015-10-22 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wild Cats of the World provides detailed accounts for all 38 species of wild cat accompanied by magnificent artwork and stunning photography. From the rabbit-sized Black-footed Cat of southern Africa to bear-killing Amur tigers of the Russian Far East, the 38 members of the Cat Family include some of the world's most fascinating and magnificent species on earth. Supremely adapted for the kill, all cats are obligate carnivores; they survive only by preying upon other animals, and they have become one of evolution's most successful predatory lineages of mammals. Wild Cats of the World explores the spectacular Cat Family in unprecedented depth. Drawing on thousands of scientific papers and direct observations in the field, each species is profiled at length, covering all aspects of felid behaviour and ecology. The book is profusely illustrated with colour plates, black-and-white sketches showing important aspects of cat life and accurate images of every species' skull. Over 400 spectacular photographs are included, many of them showing extremely rare and little-known cats published here for the first time. Each profile includes an up-to-date range map and explains the most current science on how cats are classified and related to each other, including some very recent, surprising discoveries. Despite their great evolutionary success, the challenges facing felids in the modern world are profound. Only one, the ubiquitous domestic cat, does not require dedicated conservation action to ensure survival for the next century. The book also explores the current conservation issues facing wild cats, the increasingly perilous status of many species and how they can be saved.
Download or read book On the Prowl written by Mark Hallett and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2020-06-02 with total page 434 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Big cats such as lions, tigers, leopards, and jaguars fascinate us like few other creatures. They are enduring symbols of natural majesty and power. Yet despite the magnetic appeal of the big cats, their origins and evolutionary history remain poorly understood—and human activity threatens to put an end to the big cats’ glory. On the Prowl is a fully illustrated and approachable guide to the evolution of the big cats and what it portends for their conservation today. Mark Hallett and John M. Harris trace the origins of these iconic carnivores, venturing down the evolutionary pathways that produced the diversity of big cat species that have walked the earth. They place the evolution and paleobiology of these species in the context of ancient ecosystems and climates, explaining what made big cats such efficient predators and analyzing their competition with other animals. Hallett and Harris pay close attention to human impact, from the evidence of cave paintings and analysis of ancient extinctions up to present-day crises. Their engaging and carefully documented account is brought to life through Hallett’s detailed, vivid illustrations, based on the most recent research by leading paleontologists. Offering a fresh look at the rise of these majestic animals, On the Prowl also makes a powerful case for renewed efforts to protect big cats and their habitats before it is too late.

Let us take a look at some big cats: Firstis the lions who can be found in South Sahara in South Africa. It is one of the four big cats that can roar but it cannot purr. The male rarely hunts but provides protection for his family called a Pride. The females do the hunting. Lions are the most social of all the big cats. Next are the tigers and they are found in India, China, and Indonesia. A tiger can weigh up to 500 pounds and is the largest of the big cats. Then the leopards are found in Africa and south of the Sahara. They can weigh up to 155 pounds and feed on medium to small prey they usually hunt alone at night and are also great tree climbers and leopards are loners. Then the Jaguar who is also one of the big cats that can roar. It is also one of the biggest cats found in America. They are found in the southwest US and Mexico along with Central America and can weigh up to 200 pounds. They were the third largest cat and like to swim. They hunt by stalking and ambushing. The Snow Leopard is found in Central and South Asia, it is a big cat but cannot roar. It is a great jumper and weighs between 60 and 120 pounds. It has a stocky body, thick fur, and small ears. The cheetah is next and is found in Africa, South Asia, and the Middle East. The cheetahs do not roar but they're the fastest animals on land. They have a very slender build and a flexible spine that allows them to run so fast they weigh between 80 and 90 pounds.
