Customer Reviews

Great book

I love cats and was looking for some books on large cats, especially on the cougar which is my favorite animal. I already knew a lot about wild cats from first hand experience but this book taught me more than experience ever could. I found the information very interesting and the pictures are just beautiful. I was even able to use some of the facts for a research paper I wrote for my taxonomy and systematics class. Great book and I recommend it to anyone who like cats or needs to learn about them for a project.

The Best of Lynx/Bobcat Information

We have all enjoyed the fact based information along with the wonderful picutres of Bobcats and Lynx Cats. We were pleased to find the depth of the information provided. This is a wonderful reference for anyone with an interest in these incredible cats.

Good Resource Book

This is a good book to learn about behaviors of the 3 Northern cats. Expecially good for those of us who own, and are interested in learning about the behavior, traits and differences between the species. Of course in tame bobcats, the authors comments about being like a big domestic? housecat are very true. Who can explain "domestic" in any cat species anyway? There are in my opinion only 2 types of cats: feral (wild NO human contact) and Tame: (raised by humans from birth)

A great book on some hard to find species

This book really is wonderful. My interests lie mainly in bobcats, and it is rather difficult to find good sources on these felines. This book is one of the few good bobcat books I have found, giving equal attention to bobcats, lynxes, and cougars. It combines beautiful, vibrant photos with informative, clear text. Color range maps and "basics" boxes appear for each species, and the book even contains several American Indian legends, trivia (such as "How not to become a cougar victim,") and quotes concerning these cats. I am very pleased with this book, and highly recommend it to any lover of American wildcats.
