Tiger Moon: Tracking the Great Cats in Nepal

Tiger Moon is the powerful, poetic story of the Sunquists' two years studying tigers in Nepal—traveling by elephant, avoiding a rhino attack, and learning to recognize individual tigers by roar. A new afterword tells the story of promising efforts to reconnect fractured Nepalese tiger habitats.

Tiger Moon is the powerful, poetic story of the two years Fiona and Mel Sunquist spent studying tigers in Nepal-traveling by elephant, avoiding a rhino attack, and learning to recognize individual tigers by roar. A new afterword tells the story of a promising effort to reconnect fractured Nepalese and Indian tiger habitats by developing an arc of protected areas that allows tigers and their prey to move more freely through the large territories they need to survive.

Fiona Sunquist is a science writer and photographer, and for fifteen years she was a roving editor for International Wildlife Magazine.

Mel Sunquist is an associate professor in the Department of Wildlife Ecology and Conservation at the University of Florida, Gainesville. Together they are the authors of Florida: The Ecotravellers' Wildlife Guide and Wild Cats of the World, the latter published by the University of Chicago Press.
