The hunters and the hunted

Plot

Loveliest of the great wild cats, the cheetah is poetry in motion, a blurred streak of graceful ferocity and a sauntering portrait of fluid beauty. They threaten no man and kill only for food. But the world's fastest animal is under threat from fellow predators and ecological change. Kathrine and Karl Ammann devoted two years to the study of cheetah--this account of their life among the wild cats forms a compelling and poignant narrative, brought to life by some of the best color photographs ever taken of any predator, anywhere.
