‘Being able to spend time, and
document some memorable moments where the iconic cats have tolerated our
intrusion, has been a great privilege. The wild kingdom unravels its secrets
slowly and not always generously,’ aver wildlife aficionados Babi and Tina
Nobis, who, for nearly three decades, have been on several safaris into the
wilderness of India, Africa, and Sri Lanka. While Babi has frequently trained
his lenses on the majestic animals that fight for domination and dominion in
these raw and untamed habitats, Tina has captured them in their most candid
moments through her video-camera, while also maintaining a regular journal of
these memorable journeys and encounters on the edge. Great Wild Cats – Born
To Be is a stunning visual and written record of the great cats that live by
the laws of the jungle. A companion volume to Babi and Tina’s first grand
pictorial On Safari – The Tiger and The Baobab Tree, it reaffirms the
authors’ deep passion and commitment to the preservation of wildlife,
particularly the great cats. Replete with technically and aesthetically
brilliant photographs that present a strong visual narrative, this ‘docu-
drama’ is aptly rounded off by Tina’s crisp, engaging writing and video
clips, all of which maintain the tempo of a cliffhanger. A must-have.

About Author
Babi
Nobis has explored the incredible wilderness of both the Indian and African
wildlife reserves. His passion for wildlife is showcased in his first
pictorial, On Safari – The Tiger and The Baobab Tree. His photograph,
‘Leopard With a Kill’ taken in the Masai Mara, was part of the entry which
won India the gold medal in the FIAP (Fédération Internationale de l’Art
Photographique) World Cup 21, and Babi the individual World Cup silver medal.
He has held solo exhibitions of his photographs in Stockholm, Gothenburg, and
at the Kolmarden Wildlife Park, Sweden. He is a founder member of WPSI
(Wildlife Protection Society of India). Great Wild Cats – Born To Be Free is
a collection of his photographs of tigers, lions, and leopards clicked in
India, Africa, and Sri Lanka. These images are dynamic, evocative and forge
an emotional bond with the viewer. Tina Nobis is a textile designer and
ceramic sculptor. She has travelled extensively with her husband Babi to
wildlife areas around the world. She shares his passion for the great cats
and is a keen wildlife video photographer herself. While she definitely
believes that the photographs in this book tell their own story, the notes in
her diary make for the comprehensive writing in the book as do the breathtaking
videos the book frequently leads us to.
