The Leopard's Tale (Elmtree Africana)

First published in 1985, this book is based on the observations of eleven years of leopard-watching in Kenya's Masai Mara Game Reserve. Scott's account of mother leopard, a solitary provider and protector of her offspring as they learn to fend for themselves is complemented by photographs. Jonathan Scott won the BBC Wildlife Photographer of the Year Award in 1987 and has also written The Marsh Lions in collaboration with Brian Jackman. He is based in the Masai Mara and acts as field advisor for a number of TV wildlife films.
