This book is set up like a calendar containing information
pertaining to World War II. In going to a specific date, you will
find it divided by area (i.e. Western Europe, North America etc.).
Those areas are further divided by year. What makes it a little
unique is that those years range from the 1800s to the present day.
The information includes everything from actual battles, to the
final fate of a favorite ship, to the activities of movie stars
during the war.
Did you know that most wild cat species are small and that
lions, tigers, and other large cats are the exception? That adult
bobcats, clouded leopards, and other small wild cats are completely
asocial? And that they fight only as a last resort? This
entertaining and informative book reveals these and hundreds of
other facts about the behavior, biology, and conservation of the
more than 30 small wild cat species.
From bobcats to servals, small cats are spread across the globe.
They range in size from the rusty-spotted cat and African
black-footed cat, each of which weighs around 5 pounds when fully
grown, to the Eurasian lynx, which can reach an adult weight of 60
pounds. These felids are elusive, some are nocturnal, others are
arboreal, and all are rare and secretive, making them especially
difficult to study. James G. Sanderson, the world's leading field
expert on small wild cats, and naturalist and wildlife artist
Patrick Watson provide informative and entertaining answers to
common and unexpected questions about these animals. The authors
explain why some small cats live on the ground while others inhabit
trees, discuss the form and function of their coat types and
colors, offer scientifically sound information on human-small wild
cat interactions, and even review the role that small wild cats
have played in literature, religion, and mythology.
The world of cats is as fascinating as it is diverse. "Small
Wild Cats: The Animal Answer Guide" shows just how important and
interesting the littlest of the nondomesticated feline family
are.
