Publisher Description
During a time when most wild animals are experiencing decline in the face of development and climate change, the intrepid mountain lion -- also known as a puma, a cougar, and by many other names – has experienced reinvigoration as well as expansion of territory. What makes this cat, the fourth carnivore in the food chain -- just ahead of humans – so resilient and resourceful? And what can conservationists and wild life managers learn from them about the web of biodiversity that is in desperate need of protection? Their story is fascinating for the lessons it can afford the protection of all species in times of dire challenge and decline.

I'm going to read it again and buy a print copy
This is one of the best books I've read. The book explores mountain lions and the interplay between them, other predators, prey, humans, and terrain. Not only was the writing of this book well done, but the pictures in it were also incredible. I will probably buy a print copy as well.
I chose to read this book because I want to understand the wildlife I might encounter on hiking trips, and this book gave me way more than that.
