Face to Face with Leopards

Through years of fieldwork, wildlife photographers Dereck and Beverly Joubert chronicle the life of a single leopard, from its first days as a cub to its adult years in the wild. The narrative details the leopard's physical traits, daily behavior, habitat preferences, and hunting techniques, offering a close look at how the animal adapts and survives. As the leopard matures, it faces the natural challenges of finding food, establishing a territory, and avoiding larger predators, illustrating the pressures of life in the African savanna. The book presents clear explanations and vivid images, providing middle-grade readers with insight into the complex lives of leopards.
