Tigers have fascinated humans throughout history with their immense physical strength and elusive, intelligent presence. Very little was known about the lives of these animals till recently and much of what we know today about tigers is a result of Valmik Thapar’s long engagement of over thirty years with the tigers and wildlife of Ranthambore National Park in Rajasthan. The Secret Life of Tigers is a wonderfully written account of Thapar’s observations of the life of three tigresses and their cubs through all the stages of their development, from birth to adulthood. Revealing extraordinary facts about the process of their growth and maturing. Thapar describes how fathers are much more involved in the upbringing of their cubs than was previously thought. With a new Preface and twenty outstanding colour photographs, the second edition of this classic work provides a fascinating insight into the family life of tigers and argues passionately for the greater involvement of the government and the general public to save tigers from extinction. About The Author Valmik Thapar is an internationally celebrated tiger and wildlife conservationist. He is a member of the National Board of Wildlife chaired by the Prime Minister, and other policymaking bodies responsible for wildlife and forest conservation including the National Tiger Conservation Authority of India. He is the author of eighteen books on tigers, wildlife, and Africa.
