Great Cats -- Majestic Creatures Of The Wild is a great book describing the field research of lions, tigers, leopards, jaguars, snow leopards, mountain lions, cheetahs, bobcats, lynxes, ocelots, servals, and many small cats. There are many great photographs showing the wild cats relaxing during calm moments and combatively capturing prey in ... action scenes. The evolutionary line chart on page 18 shows that lions and tigers have relatively short direct lines at about two million years, while the ocelot has the longest direct line at more than eleven million years. Consequences Of Inbreeding In Lions by David E. Wildt on page 86 highlights the lack of genetic diversity from geographic isolation in lions living in Ngorongoro Crater in Tanzania. Robin Meadows' Pumas In California on page 136 describes the debate over hunting mountain lions in the state, concluding with voters banning sport hunting in 1990; the complexity of the situation, though, has been shown by the increasing number of mountain lion attacks on human beings since 1986 -- several years ago, a woman runner was attacked and killed by a mountain lion, which was later killed. The Genetic Peril Of The Cheetah by Stephen J. O'Brien on page 146 highlights the lack of genetic variation in cheetahs that seems to have come from a very limited ancestral population about 10,000 years ago. Man-Eaters by Charles McDougal on pages 204-211 describes the history of man-eating tigers, lions, leopards, and jaguars as well as famous hunters Jim Corbett and J.H. Patterson. Cats In Zoos by Ronald L. Tilson on pages 214-219 describes the harsh zoo conditions for wild cats in the distant past and the current issues and problems of cooperative zoo-breeding programs today. Notes On Contributors on pages 234-236 lists the names and backgrounds of the thirty-eight researchers.
