Historically prized as hunting targets in Asia, cheetahs were a favorite quarry and were captured and trained to hunt. View cheetahs in action, see them accelerate after prey, or discover how a mother nurtures her cub and find out where you can go to see the real thing.

These enchanting, fascinating creatures range in size from the Pygmy Marmosets, from a quarter of a pound to around 4 inches tall, to the largest Humboldt's Woolly monkeys, weighing in at up to 20 pounds and over 2 feet tall. For all their numbers - so far 209 species identified - these monkeys live well camouflaged, high up in the thick, tangled vegetation of the rainforest canopy. Nick Gordon's wonderful pictures and vivid text reveals their secret lives.

Leopards are large feline mammals widely distributed through Africa and Asia, generally having a tawny skin covered with black rosette-like markings. Adult leopards can reach almost two meters in length with a tail half as long again. Females often give birth in a hole in a tree where the cubs will remain while their mother is away hunting. Mother and cubs can stay together up to two years. A litter is usually between four and six. Leopards are carnivorous and hunt mainly at night, but when big game is scarce will eat field mice, porcupines, and even fruit. They are extremely agile and when hungry will often climb trees to catch a monkey. In the book, lavishly illustrated with stunning photographs, the author tells of the Leopard's history, distribution, habitat, diets, social structures and its relationship with Man.

Giant Pandas inspire affection and instant recognition with their distinctive white faces and black ears and eye patches. Meet China's national treasure, pictured in a natural, protected mountain habitat where we have the chance to follow on photographer Heather Angel's shoulder as she reveals pandas as we have never seen them: playing in the snow, a mother with baby, leading their lives, apparently oblivious of one another.

These flightless seabirds are found in the Southern Hemisphere. They have dark upperparts with a mainly white breast and flipper like wings for swimming. There are 11 known species in Antarctica, the largest is the Emperor , at around 120 cm tall. Penguins are fairly widely distributed, forming breeding colonies, varying from year to year, from 10,000 to a few hundred pairs. Fortunately there are no land-based predatory animals in Antarctica, no polar bears or ice foxes. As a result, Penguins are not afraid of humans and one can get close to a colony.

Up to three meters high and 1500+ pounds in weight, polar bears can still run at up to 40 mph short bursts. Fierce predators who live mainly off seals, they can also manage a walrus for breakfast in a stomach with a capacity of 7150 pounds! How are they adapted to survive in such inhospitable environments? Is man's contribution to global warming the greatest threat to the last refuge of the polar bear-the Arctic?

Dolphins are highly evolved and social animals, with their own language of clicks and whistles and elaborate courtship rituals. Their obvious curiosity about the world extends to humans, if only for a few moments of fun, but unfortunately this factor of their intelligence has made them targets for exploitation. Add that to pollution, toxins and the practice in some cultures to kill them for food, dolphins, while not yet an endangered species, are continually threatened.
