Gorgeous photo realistic watercolor illustrations. No dumbing down the fact that tigers are predators.

Gorgeous watercolor illustrations beautifully capture wildlife habitat and every nuance of a tiger's movement.

While the focus of TIGER TREK is the behavior of wildlife, it is framed as the reader taking a trek on elephant back, a tradition that is not without controversy. However, the text also notes that tiger-watching evolved from the cruel practice of hunting tigers from elephant-back, so it also illustrates how damaging traditions can change.
