Format:Hardcover
i really enjoyed the big cat diary television series and was interested to learn more about the characters in the show. this book does not disappoint and gives a marvellous insight into lives of individual lives. jonathan and angie scott also give much information on the history of big cats, how they evolved and reasons for their pride and hunting behaviour. there really is too much information to cover in a short review but together with outstanding photographs from these well known wildlife photographers, this really is an essential read for anyone interested in the lives of the big cats.

I'm a huge animal lover and especially a cat fan, but I wasn't especially interested in Cheetah's anymore than any other species of cat... I'm now definatley a Cheetah-person!
This book is excellent. The photo's are stunning. The narrative it poignant, interesting, exciting and well-written. I read this as I would a novel - frantically, loving every moment and not able to put it down. I was sad to close the last page and had a new-found respect for the slight, endangered but beautiful cats of the Masai Mara. The Leopard and Lion BCD books are great, but the Cheetah is my favourite.
I recommend to all!

Format:Hardcover
I bought this book in advance of going on safari in the Maasai Mara. It is ideal vehicle for giving a feel for what it is really like there, better in that way than some of the more practical guides to wildlife viewing (though not one to bring with you in your pocket!)

This book was hard to find and I had to wait for a decently priced one to come up second-hand. It was definately worth the wait though. Seller was great and book was as expected. Read more

Delivers Through and Through
The best thing about these books is their dual role. Most animal books concentrate either on teaching the reader about the species or giving the story of particular individuals. Read more
