Description
The Book of the Tiger is a detailed and authoritative examination of one of nature’s most magnificent predators. R. G. Burton provides extensive insights into tiger behavior, biology, and ecology across the Indian subcontinent. The work combines scientific observation with practical knowledge, offering readers a thorough understanding of how tigers hunt, survive, and interact within their natural habitats.
Beyond tigers, Burton dedicates a significant chapter to the lion in India, exploring the relationship between these two apex predators and their roles in the Indian ecosystem. This hardcover edition serves as both an educational resource and a naturalist’s field guide, presenting detailed descriptions of tiger characteristics, territorial behavior, and conservation considerations relevant to the time of writing.
Originally published as a classic work in wildlife literature, this reprint by Gyan Publishing House makes Burton’s invaluable research accessible to modern readers interested in wildlife, natural history, and Indian fauna.
