Waar gaat het over?
Elephants are arguably Africas most charismatic animals, and among thebiggest drawcards to our game reserves. While the burgeoning game-park industry may be increasing our access to these magnificent creatures, rising human-elephant encountersare an inevitable outcome sometimes, sadly, fatal. Such encounters could likely have been avoided had those involved understood elephantbehaviour, and particularly how these intelligent animals interface with traffic through their territory.This book describes elephant family life, from rearing of infants to establishing dominance within a herd; it unpacks regular elephantbehaviour, the matriarchal system, the particular dangers of males in musth, and many other aspects of their lives. Most of all, it providesguidelines for ensuring safe and enjoyable encounters with these majestic animals.This is an essential guide for those planning visits to reserves: aside from the interest factor, being able to read the tell-tale signs may just save lives.
