Leopard
(Author) Desmond MorrisThe leopard is the ultimate cat. It makes the lion and the tiger appear overblown and all the other members of the cat family look puny. Where lions hunt in the open and then share their kill, the leopard is solitary, stealthy, and selfish. It ambushes its prey and then carries it high into a tree where it can dine alone. The leopard has commanded respect and awe in mankind for centuries, and is called the perfect predator, capable of frustrating the most dedicated Big Game Hunter. Leopards are known to attack humans and the book contains some compelling images of this amazing animal in action. In "Leopard," renowned zoologist Desmond Morris shows all sides of the animal s character: its athletic elegance, its predatory skill, its wary shyness, its cunning intelligence, its parental devotion and its preference for solitary living, even its capacity to seek revenge.
