Synopses & Reviews
In this beautifully illustrated natural history that links extinct larger feline species with those still in existence, collaborators Alan Turner and Mauricio Antón weave together the evidence of modern feline behavior with that of the fossil record. Turner's clear, insightful prose and Antón's masterly illustrations combine to offer specialists and newcomers alike an accurate and accessible guide to the evolution of cats.
