Industry Reviews
This is a well-done and thoughtful series presented under the guidance of series consultant James G. Doherty, General Curator of the Bronx Zoo. . . . Each title includes valuable report information and could also be enjoyed as a read or read aloud in its own right. The animal's habits are explained and maps are shown with clear detail as to the animal's range. . . . Photographs are clear and presented appropriately. . . . Especially noteworthy is the number of species included in each title.

Hankamp-Addor
[This book includes] a candid account of lion social behavior, including a description of the infanticide that often occurs when one male coalition displaces another. The impacts of inbreeding and the resulting increase in the susceptibility to disease are among the conservation issues discussed. . . . [The book is] illustrated abundantly with color photographs of the animals. . . . Key terms are printed in boldface, and there is a glossary of these terms in the back. . . . A directory of relevant conservation organizations and a list of suggested readings are presented.
