Book Description
Did you know that European royalty once used cheetahs to hunt deer, or that caracals can capture birds by leaping six and a half feet straight up into the air from a standing start? Have you ever wondered whether domestic cats really do land on their feet when they fall, or how Canada lynx can stalk their prey in the winter without falling through the deep snow? Wild Cats of the World is a treasure trove of answers to questions like these, and many others, for anyone who's interested in learning more about the world's felids, including the ones with whom we share our homes. Mel and Fiona Sunquist have spent more than a decade gathering information about cats from every available source, many of them quite difficult to find, including scientific papers, descriptions of hunts, archeological findings, observations by naturalists and travelers, reports from government agencies, and newsletters from a wide variety of organizations. Weaving information from these sources together with their own experiences observing wild cats around the world, the Sunquists have created the most comprehensive reference on felids available. Each of their accounts of the 36 species of cat contains a description of the cat, including human interactions with it, as well as detailed data on its distribution, ecology and behavior, status in the wild, and efforts to conserve it. Numerous photographs, including more than 40 in full color, illustrate these accounts. Ranging from the two-pound black-footed cat to the five-hundred-pound tiger, and from the African serval with its satellite-dish ears to the web-footed fishing cat of Asia, Wild Cats of the World will fascinate and educate felid fans of any stripe (or spot).

Book Description
Africa is famous for its big game and big cats. But if it didn't also have small cats, this great continent would soon be awash in rodents and other small animals. African wildcats are widespread and were domesticated thousands of years ago to become house cats. As part of an international lineage, they are described in another book in this series. But what about that spotted cat with the super-long legs? And the one with crazy ears? In this book, meet those two remarkable members of the cat family -- serval and caracal, respectively -- along with three other uniquely African cats. Each chapter contains statistics, pictures, Red-List status and information about the cat's lifestyle and wild prey. There are also links to conservation sites online for you to learn even more, as well as an extensive reference section in the back of the book. Buy this book today and spend hours relaxing with Africa's OTHER cats!

Book Description
Wild Cats of the World provides detailed accounts for all 38 species of wild cat accompanied by magnificent artwork and stunning photography. From the rabbit-sized Black-footed Cat of southern Africa to bear-killing Amur tigers of the Russian Far East, the 38 members of the Cat Family include some of the world's most fascinating and magnificent species on earth. Supremely adapted for the kill, all cats are obligate carnivores; they survive only by preying upon other animals, and they have become one of evolution's most successful predatory lineages of mammals. Wild Cats of the World explores the spectacular Cat Family in unprecedented depth. Drawing on thousands of scientific papers and direct observations in the field, each species is profiled at length, covering all aspects of felid behaviour and ecology. The book is profusely illustrated with colour plates, black-and-white sketches showing important aspects of cat life and accurate images of every species' skull. Over 400 spectacular photographs are included, many of them showing extremely rare and little-known cats published here for the first time. Each profile includes an up-to-date range map and explains the most current science on how cats are classified and related to each other, including some very recent, surprising discoveries. Despite their great evolutionary success, the challenges facing felids in the modern world are profound. Only one, the ubiquitous domestic cat, does not require dedicated conservation action to ensure survival for the next century. The book also explores the current conservation issues facing wild cats, the increasingly perilous status of many species and how they can be saved.

Book Description
The Amazing Cat Family is an Animal Based Curriculum of the RUFF Program. The book is 133 pages and takes a comprehensive look at the entire cat family with emphasis on cultural use, science, biology, history, genetics and geography. Each species is noted with Navajo names. R.U.F.F. is an acronym that stands for Reservations' Unwanted Four-Footed Friends organized for establishing homes for the unwanted and neglected animals on the Navajo Reservation. Rescued animals went into classrooms to help teach the children about animal behavior, care and health, but the animals ended up helping the kids by extrapolating expressions of emotions which would otherwise be harbored or unexpressed by the child. It incorporated self-esteem where all else had failed. Using a natural catalyst, puppies and kittens, to teach responsible behavior proved to be extremely effective. Teacher nominated, this curriculum won 1st place Golden Bell Award from the ASBA as the best new innovative curriculum in 1996. www.ruffprogram.com
