There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

Book Review

Canada Dr Panthera Offline

I have finally finished reading the book, over all it is an awesome book , I particularly liked the following:
1-Amazing amount of information about the little known cats, particularly the small cats.
2-Up to date info , even more informative than Sunquist's with most species accounts thorough and well researched.
3- The book is not addressed to scientists and conservationists who are keen on knowing the details of the studies and the sources of information, the Panthera organization president is trying here to educated everybody about all cats and draw attention to their plight.
4-There is so much knowledge about big cats especially the better studied species lions ,tigers ,leopards,cheetahs, and pumas that cramming everything in 9-10 pages is  impossible, but finding 10 page worth of info about say the Iberian lynx was amazing.
5-Morphology is not an area of importance to scientific research or conservation issues...the biology of a 100 kg Sundarban tiger is not different from a 220 kg Chitwan tiger that much, and both need protection.
What I would love to see is a compilation of all available scientific readings with details for every species.
I thank Dr.Hunter for his effort and I hope you all get to enjoy this great source of info.
