This 371 page book examines"fascinating new information on the way of life of Africa's wild animals, based on scientific observations. Many of the old myths and legends are dispelled as these animals are revealed in their natural habitats, seen through the eyes of trained zoologists, not over the sights of a gun or through the bars of a cage. Cynthia Moss vividly describes the elephant's family life, the true nature of the hyena, the role of males and females in the lion pride and the complex 'friendships' among baboons. Each chapter is devoted to one species or group of related species and describes the studies which have been carried out on that animal, the scientists who did the work, some of the methods they used and their results. Many of these researchers spent years in the bush, devoting their time and energies to discovering the way of life of 'their animals', hoping that their results would help in the conservation of that species. Cynthia Moss's syntheses of these studies give an up-to-date picture of each species' social organisation, behaviour and general ecology." Includes dozens of black and white photos of many species in their natural habitats.
