Reproduction and the safari cat’s coat characteristics and color are also discussed. Students will also explore this hybrid’s size, behavior, and character. Finally, readers will learn a few tips for caring for this rare and beautiful hybrid. Full-color photos accompany engaging, easy-to-read text. Extras include an index and a glossary.
