The art of being a lion - Christine Denis-Huot

This large format full colour natural history guide tells the full life story of the Lion, one of the most noble creatures of the wild. Once, in pre-historic times, the lion stalked the lands of Europe; now its very existence is threatened and populations can only be found in the wildlife parks of East Africa. Lion society is complex and these two authors have researched and photographed previously unknown aspects of their behaviour. - The Lion in History - Evolution and Anatomy - Habitat - Social Life - The Troupe and the Territory - Sexuality - Hunting and Food - The Family Unit and the Education of the Young -
