 Lions & Tigers & Bears June 22, 2002
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
Don't let the ... packaging fool you--this paperback is a reprint of a BBC book from a few years back that's chock full of information on many hundreds of cases of animals devouring people. This book imparts that more than a million people have been killed and eaten by tigers in the course of human history. There are also chapters on African lions (including a great capsule story of the Man-Eaters of Tsavo), leopards (which rival tigers in India as man-eaters), wolves (of which there are almost no known cases of them killing man in Europe or North America), and cougars, which are deadlier than I had realized. There are also chapters on more cold-blooded denizens, sharks and crocodilians. Very entertaining, though you'll reconsider letting your kids play outside for a while.

Not for young readers the attacks are described in graphic details.
I have only read the first chapter on the attacks and it is pretty intersting to read about why the animals do it.
I am 16 and I don't like other non-fiction books I mostly like fiction, but this one caught my eye, I recomend that you go rent it from your library first to see if you like it.
