The Art Of Being A Lion Download Free (EPUB, PDF)
Immortalized in legend and celebrated through the centuries, the King of Beasts has fascinated man since it stalked through Europe in prehistoric times. A universal symbol of power, the lion is renowned for its flamboyant mane, noble aspect, terrifying roar, and unsurpassed sexual stamina. Journey into the world of this revered and feared big cat through these spectacular color images. Stand on the searing savannah alongside one of these imposing creatures as it looks down with disdain on other species as so many possible prey. Witness his contradictory nature as he fiercely defends his family and territory, then later lowers himself to petty thievery and carrion scrounging. All the while, the females bring up their cubs collectively and handle the hunting duties. The complexity of this endangered society, which can now be found only in the wildlife parks and sanctuaries of East Africa, is captured here in candid, breathtaking detail.

If you are at all fascinated by lions, you have to get this book. It's got some annoying typos in the text, but let's face it, you buy books like this one for the pictures. And the pictures are amazing! Some are so up close that a male lion's face fills the entire page. The colors are rich, showing off the lions' fur nicely, or the African landscape.The book is divided into sections on anatomy, social behavior, care of the young, and eating. If you find lion cubs irresistably adorable (as I do), the section on the young will knock you over. I don't know how the authors managed to get so close (even with a telephoto lens) to get some of the shots they did (cub suckling on mom, three cubs climbing up a tree).Typos aside, the text is fine. I learned that lion cubs like to roll around in elephant poop(!).
This is a good and comprehensive book on the African Lions including wonderful pictures and full range of information on the animal. I fell in love with the book when I read it in the library and so far is the one good book I've found to date on the subject.
This is the best book on lions I've ever read. It is full of useful and interesting facts, and also many full color, beautiful and cool looking photographs of the king of beasts. It shows lions hunting, eating, roaring, fighting, running, playing, and all other things that they do when they're not asleep. It also tells you what they eat, how they mate and defend the pride, and even true stories on real lions or lionesses given names by naturalists. Lions always have been and always will be my favorite animal ever(followed by tigers and jaguars, of course)and this book absolutely rocked. In terms of itself and my world. I recommend this to all nature lovers around the world, thoroughly and completely. Oh, and let's not forget totally and utterly.
