| Summary |
Carnivores such as wolves and weasels, jackals and jaguars are loved by us for their beauty and their prowess as hunters, and simultaneously despised as stock-killers, man-eaters and competitors for food and space. This readable account by a renowned life-long naturalist explores the intricate relationships between people and predators. |
