Listened to a few times and the box shows it through signs of wear along the edges. The tapes are in very nice condition. This was part of a huge private collection that was collected more than listened to. Title: THE TRIBE OF TIGER Cats Their Culture Author: Elizabeth Marshall Thomas Read By: author Year: 1994 Length: Abridged Category: Non-fiction and Relationships Actual Length Tapes: 3 hrs., on 2 tapes From the majestic Bengal tiger to the domesticated Siamese comes a meditation on cats from the bestselling author of The Hidden Life of Dogs and The Social Lives of Dogs. From as far back in time as the disappearance of the dinosaurs, cats have occupied an important place in our evolutionary, social, and cultural history. The family of the cat is as diverse as it is widespread, ranging from the lions, tigers, and pumas of the African and Asian wilds to the domesticated cats of our homes, zoos, and circuses. When she witnesses her housecat, Rajah, effortlessly scare off two fully-grown deer, acclaimed anthropologist Elizabeth Marshall Thomas starts studying the links that bind the feline family together. Immersing herself in the subtle differences of their social orders, feeding behaviors, and means of communication, Thomas explores the nature of the cat, both wild and domestic, and the resilient streak that has ensured its survival over thousands of years.
