Synopsis

First published in 1985, this book is based on the observations of eleven years of leopard-watching in Kenya's Masai Mara Game Reserve. Scott's account of mother leopard, a solitary provider and protector of her offspring as they learn to fend for themselves is complemented by photographs. Jonathan Scott won the BBC Wildlife Photographer of the Year Award in 1987 and has also written "The Marsh Lions" in collaboration with Brian Jackman. He is based in the Masai Mara and acts as field advisor for a number of TV wildlife films.

About this title

Review

'In wonderful photographs and prose, here is an account that, because of new challenges to leopard populations as much as the observational difficulties, few are likely to replicate.' Conde Nast Traveller 'The authors certainly convey inexhaustible enthusiasm and an undimmed sense of wonder at the natural world.' Good Book Guide 'The new final third of the book, which whisks through the leopard dynasty chronicled by Big Cat Diary, is compelling' BBC Wildlife Magazine
