From the Back Cover:

The first of three books derived from the immense amount of work that has gone into producing four TV series, Big Cat Diary: Lion, is designed to be a companion volume providing a complete picture of the lives of the big cats that live in the Masai Mara and beyond.

As well as a detailed examination of biology and behaviour, the book provides an historical perspective of the big cat families featured in the series. The book also looks outside the Masai Mara Game Reserve, to the Serengeti National Park in Tanzania and the Ngorongoro Crater, and Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe and South Africa.

Finally there is the question of how to conserve our big cat populations. There could be as few as 15,000 lions left in Africa. How can we ensure they can maintain breeding populations, space to hunt and sufficient prey to survive?

Lions are the animals visitors most want to see in safari, the king of beasts, Big Cat Diary: Lion will ensure all cat lovers will not be disappointed.
