Summary

Replies to 180 questions, to explore this order of mammals which fascinates, captivates and terrifies us - the 270 species of carnivores.

A blend of respect, admiration, fascination, rational and irrational fear which defines our relations with carnivores. Why, how, based on which criteria? The author puts certain ideas back where they belong thanks to beautifully-researched iconography, even of those species which are rarely photographed.
Why do carnivores eat meat? Why do lions live in a pride? How is the African wild dog hunted? What are the expressions, gestures and postures of the wolf? Why does the tiger not climb trees?
