TIGERS are one of the most beautiful and mysterious creatures on Earth. Their name alone evokes a sense of strength, danger, and savagery. Through many centuries, humans have been fascinated by them-the largest of the great cats. Once roaming freely throughout Asia and into Africa, the world's population of wild tigers has declined to only slightly more than 5,000 due to the enormous destruction of wild places over the past hundred years. Watch and learn as the tiger stalks, chases, and attacks its prey. Gentler moments, such as the playful antics of young cubs under the watchful protection of their mothers, are also included. Entertaining and informative, TIGERS is just one title from the series Animals in the Wild. Anyone seeking a better understanding of the animal kingdom, especially these majestic creatures, will enjoy this book and the entire series. Each title in this series includes color photos throughout, and back matter including: an index and further reading lists for books and internet resources
