Items related to Big Cats
Few animals can match the strength or grace of the big cats. A large male Siberian tiger, who eats anything from a frog to a bear, may weigh more than 600 pounds and be more than 12 feet long, nose to tail. A lion's earsplitting roar can be heard up to 5 miles away. And in only a few seconds, the cheetah can go from 0 to 70 miles an hour - that's faster than the fastest racehorse! Whether they are running, climbing, or leaping, these bundles of muscle are always ready for action.

Review:
"Blue whales, right whales, humpback whales, killer whales, and more-- all strikingly photographed and lovingly described. Captivating."--" The Kirkus Reviews "Whales in their natural habitat are lavishly illustrated in this introduction to their physical characteristics and biology. The full-color photographs are lush, the text is succint, and the oversized format sets off the large scale of these magnificent creatures. A flowing text perfectly accented by the photographs. A beautiful and factual addition for all collections." --" School Library Journal
