The Big Cats and Their Fossil Relatives

Here's a book for cat lovers, but those who prefer good hard science to the warm and fuzzy feline tomes.

While very readable, not to mention beautifully and lavishly illustrated, The Big Cats and Their Fossil Relatives is a serious and intelligent look at how today's lions, tigers, and other cat species are linked to their ancient and extinct ancestors.

The way cats have evolved over 25 million years, and the descriptions of feline behavior, both ancient and present, will intrigue animal lovers in general, and not just cat people..
