Reviews
Anna’s new book, Snow and Amur Leopards, tells the story of how two female leopards and big cat keepers care for two leopard cubs to help them reach adulthood. Highlighting the survival skills mother leopards teach their cubs (stalking), and the adaptations of each species to survive in their habitat (camouflage). Expressing the similarities and differences between the two different leopard species, while calling attention towards the real threats the vulnerable Snow leopards and critically endangered Amur leopards are facing in the wild- habitat loss, poaching, and human conflict. - Christy MO, Carnivore Animal Care Specialist

Reviews for Gibbon Finds A Friend
Anna Grob's new book, Gibbon Finds a Friend, is an enlightening narrative that exposes the very real threats that much of the world's wildlife faces. Not only does she expose the consequences of capturing animals for the pet trade, she also reveals the devastation the Palm Oil industry is causing. Along with these realities she weaves in a variety of both Gibbon and Orangutan behaviors, as well as how circumstances can create some unique friendships in the Animal Kingdom. Anna also touches on the positive impact researchers can have on wildlife and the environment.
