Bichu The Jaguar (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781635297546)

For fans of THE LION KING and THE JUNGLE BOOK. Set in the amazon jungle, a jaguar named Bichu, is wounded by a poacher's bullet and wants nothing more to get back to her mountain lair so that she can die a peaceful death. But to do so she must evade and survive not only the natural dangers of the jungle, but also the cunning of a proud and stubborn Indian who is determined to catch and kill her after coming across her trail. For a jaguar's hide can bring great wealth and standing for the Indian in his village. At the Indian's side is his 12 year old daughter who has great admiration for her father and witnesses his unyielding determination. However as the chase, seen through the eyes of both man and beast, draws to its climax and the moment of truth draws near, both hunter and hunted have come to develop an extraordinary and totally unexpected respect for each other.

An enduring story, BICHU THE JAGUAR conveys the harsh truth of animal existence more convincingly than many other nature books.
