I also really liked the section on mountain lions because I actually experienced seeing a puma in the wild.

I also really liked the part that went over the evolution of the feline family because I especially enjoy those species that have gone extinct and studying them.

One part I dislike about this book is the fact that they were unable to photograph several of the cats because they were too highly endangered to find easily in the wild.

The last thing that I disliked about this book is the several sections that talk about extinctions or negative human impacts on the wildlife around them.]]> 2018-04-20 00:26:46 UTC https://padlet.com/pastrickmj_2022/fyxb4yxu1exq/wish/253664012 pastrickmj_2022 https://padlet.com/pastrickmj_2022/fyxb4yxu1exq/wish/253667430 Central Idea:
The central idea of this book is the big cats of our world from the past and the present.
Theme:
One theme in this book is the Cats of the Past section. Another is the Western Hemisphere Cats. And then lastly is the Cats of the Eastern Hemisphere.]]> 2018-04-20 00:50:13 UTC https://padlet.com/pastrickmj_2022/fyxb4yxu1exq/wish/253667430 pastrickmj_2022 https://padlet.com/pastrickmj_2022/fyxb4yxu1exq/wish/253669389 Though this book doesn't have any plot, there are no exact "characters".

Some of these people were: Scientist Rodney Jackson, the Cincinnati Zoo Crew, and the Lindner Center for Conversation and Research of Endangered Wildlife.]]> 2018-04-20 01:04:10 UTC https://padlet.com/pastrickmj_2022/fyxb4yxu1exq/wish/253669389 pastrickmj_2022 https://padlet.com/pastrickmj_2022/fyxb4yxu1exq/wish/253671202 Much like the issue with characters, the book doesn't have a set plot, but there are certain places that they did research that could be considered setting.
