This is one of the most magnificent books I have ever seen on Lions and their unshakable bond with their cubs and how they survive together. This is a must have book for wild life enthusiasts. Enjoy!

Awesome pictures of lions . . . .
15 Oct 2002
Format:Hardcover
If you are at all fascinated by lions, you have to get this book. It's got some annoying typos in the text, but let's face it, you buy books like this one for the pictures. And the pictures are amazing! Some are so up close that a male lion's face fills the entire page. The colors are rich, showing off the lions' fur nicely, or the African landscape.
The book is divided into sections on anatomy, social behavior, care of the young, and eating. If you find lion cubs irresistably adorable (as I do), the section on the young will knock you over. I don't know how the authors managed to get so close (even with a telephoto lens) to get some of the shots they did (cub suckling on mom, three cubs climbing up a tree).
Typos aside, the text is fine. I learned that lion cubs like to roll around in elephant poop(!).

The lion's share of being written about!
10 Sep 2005
Format:Hardcover
This is the best book on lions I've ever read. It is full of useful and interesting facts, and also many full color, beautiful and cool looking photographs of the king of beasts. It shows lions hunting, eating, roaring, fighting, running, playing, and all other things that they do when they're not asleep. It also tells you what they eat, how they mate and defend the pride, and even true stories on real lions or lionesses given names by naturalists. Lions always have been and always will be my favorite animal ever(followed by tigers and jaguars, of course)and this book absolutely rocked. In terms of itself and my world. I recommend this to all nature lovers around the world, thoroughly and completely. Oh, and let's not forget totally and utterly.

'Being a Lion' captures the life of lions. and visually makes me feel I'm in Africa.
The photography is lifelike and educational.
