First published in 1993, with a new and updated preface, this book
is based on two years of intensive field study in Kruger National
Park in South Africa. Ted Bailey examines leopard population
characteristics, activity and habitat use patterns, movements,
feeding ecology, and social organization, and provides new
information on leopard mortality, scavenging, and relationships to
other large predators and to humans. Illustrated with photographs,
maps, graphs, charts, and tables. For professional wildlife
biologists, students, and others concerned with the natural history
of large carnivores. Ted Bailey is a retired Kenai National
Wildlife Refuge wildlife biologist who has lived on the Kenai
Peninsula in Alaska for more than 27 years. He is an adjunct
instructor at the Kenai Peninsula College. "Bailey has added a
substantial and high-quality work." Science 1994 264:1004-1005 "The
leopard remains an enigma in conservation. It is a difficult task
for biologists and managers to balance their desires to protect
such a species and also promote systems increasing the values
people place on the species. It may be the mystery and chase that
elevate the value of the trophy, be it fur or photographic. This
book provides clues for many new mysteries around the leopard. J
Wildlife Management 1995 59:191-192 "It represents simply the most
comprehensive treatise on the leopard available to date." Julian C.

Biology, The Field Museum
