Undeniably not a Disney tale...
'Panther' by R.L. Haig-Brown, Collins, 1957 (first publishing 1934)
In Panther [Haig-Brown] writes of a great American panther in the island ranges of Vancouver... while the panther's story has all the elements of tragedy and excitement, he has too much honesty to sentimentalize it, or to impose on an animals blind instincts any human feelings or thoughts. His panther is pure animal - biting, snarling, hunting, mating, killing and dying. A fine, plain tale, with all the vitality and beauty of nature beneath its surface.
