| book description |
The leopard is one of the most beautiful cats in creation, and is now endangered in many countries. This fact led Arjan Singh, to attempt a daring experiment - rear a leopard cub in his house and return it to the jungle. This is the story of how Arjan Singh taught Prince and then the twins Juliette and Harriet the ways of the forest Sharing his whole life with them, building them machans (tree platforms), walking the jungle tracks in their company, encouraging them to hunt, teaching them to disembowel their kills, he came to know the ways and character of the leopards. His first great success came when Prince at last took to the jungle, fully re-habilitated. There were setbacks, however - Prince and Harriet each killed one human child, and the author's local critics were vociferous in their opposition. Yet Arjan Singh was supported by Mrs Indira Gandhi, then Prime Minister of India, and in 1976 he was awarded the World Wildlife Fund's Gold Medal for his conservation work.
