The Serengeti lion

Field observations provide abundant data on all aspects of lion behavior, including its social system, population dynamics, hunting behavior, predation patterns, and other factors which contribute to an understanding of the lion as a member of the natural community. The book includes individual chapters on the leopard, cheetah, wild dog, and others. It also includes much information on the lion's prey species, including distribution, migration, and social organization. These data form the basis of the concluding chapter on the dynamics of predation.--

First sentence: Predation has a major influence on the dynamics of animal populations.
