A dramatic encounter with a belligerent tiger; a near-death experience; hunting for missing tigers; a mystifying leopard who attacks humans at will with no fear; tracking and monitoring tigers and the fascinating story of an aggressive male tiger. These and other true-life tales form part of My Encounter with the Big Cat and Other Adventures in Ranthambhore.

The author also pays tribute to the unsung heroes of Ranthambhore who gave up their lives and livelihood for the protection of others. Accompanied by rare photographs that enhance the appeal of the book, this is a must read for all, especially for those interested in the life of the tiger, the national animal of India.
