Cat Tale: The Wild, Weird Battle to Save the Florida Panther

Cat Tale: The Wild, Weird Battle to Save the Florida Panther

â€œWitty and passionate.â€ â€”Lauren Groff

â€œCraig Pittman has a remarkable talent for telling stories set in the Sunshine State that never fail to fascinate and entertain.â€â€”Gilbert King

â€œThe definitive book on one of Americaâ€™s least understood apex predators. The story of how Floridaâ€™s panthers were saved from extinction is one that both deserves and needs to be told.â€ â€”Dane Huckelbridge

It wasnâ€™t so long ago when a lot of people thought the Florida panther was extinct. They were very nearly right. That the panther still exists at all is a miracleâ€”the result of a desperate experiment that led to the most remarkable comeback in the history of the Endangered Species Act. And no one has told the whole storyâ€”until now.

With novelistic detail and an eye for the absurd, Craig Pittman recounts the extraordinary story of the people who brought the panther back from the brink of extinction, the ones who nearly pushed the species over the edge, and the cats that were caught in the middle. This being Florida, thereâ€™s more than a little weirdness, too.

An engrossing narrative of wry humor, sharp writing and exhaustive reportage, Cat Tale shows what it takes to bring one species back and what unexpected costs such a decision brings.
