From the Publisher:
A tale about the author's trip to the flooded forest of the Sundarbans Tiger Reserve expels the myths and attempts to explain the science behind the behavior of the man-eating tigers which inhabit this mangrove swamp. Reprint. |
Annotation:
A look at life at the Sundarbans Tiger Reserve--the biggest tiger reserve on Earth and home to more than 500 of the big cats. On the Reserve the tigers live freely--and routinely hunt and kill approximately 300 villagers a year. While writing this book, the author consulted not only the scientists who study the tigers, but also the villagers who live near the Reserve. Illustrated with color photographs.

New York Times Book Review
"Unfortunately, history and science seem to interest Sy Montgomery less than melodrama and myth. Her claim that Sundarbans tigers take 300 lives a year is greatly inflated, and she makes too little of the fact that virtually all of those killed are fishermen, woodcutters and honey gatherers who have defied the law to enter protected areas of the forest." - Geoffrey C.
