On the African plains, a herd
of antelope is startled by a flash of gold and
black. A cheetah bears down on them at 75 miles
per hour. A margay hangs upside down from a
branch in the Amazon rain forest, napping
between heaven and earth. A leopard, in a few
heart-stopping springs, bears a full-grown
gazelle into the boughs of an acacia. This is
the World of Cats, a part of our natural
heritage. While we try to contact other
worlds, many worlds within our own...the lions,
the tigers, and many others...call to us and go
unanswered. Dare to explore the universe that
is Planet Earth through their eyes.
