In this book he examines the fate of lions in India's Gir forest. saltwater crocodiles in northern Australia. brown bears in the mountains of Romania. and Siberian tigers. He is equally intrigued by the traditional relationship between the great predators and the people who live among them. and weaves into his story the fears and myths that have haunted humankind for millennia.
