The Big Cats and their Fossil Relatives
A compelling account of the evolution and anatomy of big cats past and present from an acclaimed artist (Antón) and a renowned paleontologist (Turner). The first book of its kind Big Cats is a natural history which links the extinct larger feline species with those still living, including lions, tigers, cougars, and cheetahs. Using superb illustrations this book chronicles 25 million years of evolution, and also explores the possible behavioural patterns of these large predators - how they would have moved, hunted and interacted. Throughout the book side-by-side comparisons of extinct species with their descendants today illuminate the process and purpose of evolution.
