This new and superbly illustrated portrait of cheetahs combines the personal experiences and field observations of the author with the latest scientific studies.

Easy to read and up-to-date, this book records the cheetah’s origins and evolution, its life as a supreme hunter and its unusual social behaviour.

The book also discusses the many threats facing the cheetah, foremost from humans, and examines the work of biologists and conservationists, who are trying to give cheetahs a fair chance in the race against extinction.
