Lion - Jonathan Scott

A companion volume to the successful Big Cat Diary television series, which goes beyond the day-to-day footage and explores the bigger picture of history, biology, social behaviour and conservation.

The first in a series of three books on Africa's big cats, Big Cat Diary: Lion provides a complete picture of the lives of lions in the Masai Mari and beyond.

The famous Marsh Lion pride feature alongside other big cat families from Namibia, Bottswana, Zimbabwe, South Africa, the Ngorongoro Crater and the Serengeti National Park in Tanzania.

The book looks their everyday social behaviour alongside their fight for survival. It also addresses the question of how to conserve the world's big cat populations.

Written and photographed by someone who has spent half his life watching Africa's big cats, Big Cat Diary: Lion provides a greater insight into the lives of these magnificent creatures.
