A dramatic encounter with a belligerent tiger; a near-death experience; hunting for missing tigers; a mystifying leopard who attacks humans at will with no fear; tracking and monitoring tigers and the fascinating story of an aggressive male tiger. These and other true-life tales form part of My Encounter with the Big Cat and Other Adventures in Ranthambhore.

Daulat Singh Shaktawat has served for more than 37 years in the wildlife wing of the Forest Department of Rajasthan. A dedicated officer and a passionate wildlife, he has contributed immensely towards the conservation of habitat and wild species during his tenures at the Keoladeo National Park, Sariska Tiger Reserve and the Ranthambhore Tiger Reserve. He is known for his adept handling of crisis situations arising from man-animal conflict. In 2010, he was grievously injured and nearly lost his life while trying to tranquillise a tiger that had strayed out of the boundary of the Ranthambhore Tiger Reserve.
