The lion : behavior, ecology, and conservation of an iconic species / Craig Packer ; with color photographs by Daniel Rosengren. by Packer, Craig, author. Princeton : Princeton University Press, [2023] Subjects Lion -- Behavior.   Lion -- Behavior -- Africa, East. ISBN:  9780691215297 (hardcover) 0691215294 (hardcover) Description:  xii, 356 pages : color illustrations, color maps ; 27 cm Requests:  0 Summary:  "Lions lead intricate lives. They hunt together, raise cubs together, and defend territories together. But though life at the top of the food chain may mean that lions have little to fear from other species - they can easily dominate every other carnivore in their midst - they still must constantly safeguard against the threat posed by other lions. Each day is dominated by the demands of raising a family while protecting themselves against enemies endowed with the same strengths and skills. Biologist Craig Packer has spent his career studying the African lion, one of the most fascinating animals on earth. In this book, he synthesizes his decades of research in the Serengeti into an up-to-date portrait of the African lion, and reveals how he and his colleagues have come to understand this creature's behavior, ecology, and conservation. Packer opens the book by providing readers with background on lions' territory, daily behavior, lifespan, and physiology. From there he delves more deeply into lion society, illustrating the complexity of lion life from cub rearing and foraging to competition with other lions. In the final chapters, Packer zooms out to summarize what is known about lion ecological abundance and distribution as well as their conservation status. Not surprisingly, lions are increasingly threatened; however, Packer ends his book on a hopeful note, pointing to programs that are successfully protecting lion populations"-- Provided by publisher.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Mililani Public Library Adult Nonfiction 599.75709 Pa Checked In Add Copy to MyList
