    “This is a truly heroic study, involving a tremendous amount of fieldwork over many years. It deserves wide attention.” —David Armstrong, University of Colorado Boulder “This book will serve as a reference guide and how-to working manual for the future of these animals for decades to come. There is no compilation of work on cougars like this in the world, no compilation that spans a top-level carnivore restoration, no compilation that elucidates such a difficult species to work with.” —Jim Halfpenny, president, A Naturalist’s World "For enthusiasts of Yellowstone or carnivores, this is an important book. . . . truly a benchmark in detailing the life history of an elusive and difficult to study species." —The Canadian Field-Naturalist   "Each chapter could stand alone as a scientific journal article, and the appendixes contain technical information that allows the reader to validate the science. This work is an outstanding contribution to wildlife science." —CHOICE "Yellowstone Cougars is, in a word, impressive. The authors of this volume, and chapter contributors as well, are titans in this area of research, and if that were not apparent before reading, it certainly is after you put the book down." —The Quarterly Review of Biology

Hornocker is a wildlife biologist and founder of the Hornocker Wildlife Institute in 1985 and the Selway Institute in 2005. Throughout his 50-plus-year career he has studied big mammalian carnivores, beginning with his experience with the Craighead brothers and grizzlies in Yellowstone. He has since initiated and directed original research on the big cats on several continents, authored and coauthored more than 100 scientific publications, and received numerous awards for his work, including the Wildlife Society’s 2010 Book of the Year award for Cougar: Ecology and Conservation.
