Wonderful drawings and photos depicting big cats in action. Tiger, lion,
jaguar, cougar, cheetah and all leopards and their subspecies are described
in individual chapters, including conservation and behavior issues in
the wild and in captivity. It is supplemented by many interesting tidbits,
such as different coat patterns and colorations. The author, Douglas Richardson
got his first Zoo job at Edinburgh in UK, and he is currently a director
of the Rome Zoo. He argues, successfully, that some animals might have
to exist purely in captivity unless or until safe habitats are assured
for them in the wild. The role of a modern Zoo is to act as a reserve
of a healthy genetic populations for the future to avoid the extinction
of species. 128 pgs.

big cats. Shambala which in Sanskrit means "a meeting place of peace
and harmony for all beings, animal and human," is Tippi Hedren's
home. Nestled in a secluded canyon north of Los Angeles, this unique animal
preserve is also the home of lions, tigers, cheetahs, cougars, leopards,
African elephants, and exotic birds---a refuge where these magnificent
creatures all of them born in captivity can live out their lives in dignity
and peace. Through her foundation, it is Tippi's dream to continue to
maintain the preserve, to provide better care for every wild animal in
captivity, and to preserve and protect the big cats that still survive
in the wild from human destruction. Tippi Hedren also has the help of
her daughter, the well known actress Melanie Griffiths.
