What makes tigers unique among our planet's many cat species? The Concise Book of Tigers: A Guide to Nature's Most Remarkable Cats, by award-winning writer, naturalist, and historian Lochlainn Seabrook, answers this question and many more about these magnificent felines.
Filled with fascinating details often overlooked by other natural history writers, this concise yet informative introduction to what the author calls tigerology features eleven comprehensive chapters exploring the ecology and life history of tigers. Topics include tiger vision, hearing, coloration, vocalizations, behavior, and other aspects of tiger biology; tigers in superstition, religion, and literature; how to identify tigers; where they can be observed; and the conservation of tigers and their habitats.
The book also includes a detailed field guide to twelve recognized tiger subspecies-six living and six extinct-found across Eurasia. Each entry provides the subspecies' common and scientific names, identifying characteristics, geographic distribution, habitat, diet and hunting behavior, natural enemies, population, life span, conservation status, and commentary by the author.
Richly illustrated with 150 color photographs and black-and-white drawings, The Concise Book of Tigers also contains a complete list of the world's 41 felids, an extensive bibliography with suggested reading, and a comprehensive index covering every cat referenced in the book.
Written in the author's characteristically lucid, compact, and educational style, this family-friendly guide is essential reading for tiger enthusiasts, wildlife watchers, naturalists, conservationists, and animal lovers of all ages. With its special emphasis on tiger conservation, The Concise Book of Tigers is both a treasure trove for tigriphiles.
