Master of Survival

Kevin Hansen

Bobcat: Master of Survival tells the story of the most adaptable and resilient wild feline in the world. While half the wild cat species worldwide are in danger, the bobcat is thriving, even expanding its range in North America. The book probes this diminutive predator's habits and behavior: how they hunt, kill prey, raise their young, coexist with humans, and deftly navigate the endless obstacles to survival. The author examines how economics and politics play a far greater role in bobcat management and conservation than does science. Bobcat is the most comprehensive and up-to-date book on the natural history and management of bobcats to appear in 40 years.
