Klappentext: "Rhino is the
story of a woman's attempt to save Kenya's black rhino from the poachers who threaten the species with
extinction. Whole herds have been massacred in a single night and individual rhinos hijacked and murdered on
their way to reserves. But since Anna Merz founded her high-security sanctuary, one group of rhinos has been
given the chance to survive - and this group is breeding and increasing in size every year. Here she tells
of how, in the face of ridicule and disbelief, she first coaxed 10,000 acres of Africa from a farming family
and then permission from the Kenyan government to hunt and capture rhinos in the wild. She describes her
unusual life within the sanctuary at the foot of Mt. Kenya, and all she has learnt about rhinos through her
daily observations - revealing them to be unexpectedly intelligent and gentle animals, with distinctly
individual personalities. And she tells of how she acted as substitute mother to Samia - the orphaned baby
rhino which she hand-raised for three years, before successfully reintroducing her to the wild."

The Serengeti Lion A Study of Predator-Prey
Relations
von George B. Schaller, Richard Keane (Illustrationen)
Verleger: "'Predators are the best
wildlife managers,' writes George Schaller. They weed out the sick and old and keep herds healthy and alert.
Yet the large predators of the world have been and are still being exterminated because they are thought to
harm wildlife. Schaller's award-winning work, based on three years of study in the Serengeti National Park,
describes the impact of the lion and other predators on the vast herds of wildebeest, zebra, and gazelle for
which the area is famous. The Serengeti Lion is the most intensive study ever made of the lion. The
author's field observations provide abundant data on all aspects of lion behavior, including its social
system, population dynamics, hunting behavior, predation patterns, and other factors which contribute to an
understanding of this great cat as a member of the natural community. The book is thoroughly illustrated
with maps, charts, sketches, and fifty photographs of lions, including several shots taken of the process of
killing prey."

Verleger: "Scientific discovery is
not always the result of a careful accumulation of data or a measured consideration of the facts. Sometimes
it takes a leap of imagination. Katy Payne, a naturalist and conservationist, took just such a leap and made
an amazing discovery about how elephants communicate. And that was only the beginning of her adventure. In
1984, Katy Payne visited the elephants at Washington Park Zoo in Portland. Oregon. She had been studying
whale songs for the last fifteen years, and she was curious about the ways that elephants - the largest
living land mammals - communicated with each other. What Payne observed in her first week seemed, at the
time, to be little cause for scientific excitement. But on her flight home, she flushed back to a childhood
experience of singing in the church choir. Suddenly she realized that she had felt, in the presence of the
elephants, a deep throbbing in the air just like the lowest notes of the church organ. Payne and two
colleagues were soon able to show that elephants are powerful infrasound - sound pitched too low for the
human ear to hear - in communication. This 'silent thunder' allows elephants to intract over long distances.
This brilliant, unorthodox, nonlinearless was the basis of her discovery of infrasonic communication among
elephant and is typical of Payne's work as a naturalist. It also infuses this deeply felt and observed book
with an extraordinary spirit, Payne and her colleagues went on to do important field research on elephant
communication in Kenya, Namibia, and Zimbabwe. But in 1991 the peaceful rhythms of their work were violently
interrupted by a cull - a planned killing - that destroyed five of the elephant families they were studying.
This destruction convinced her that all life is sacred. Payne determined to challenge the philosophies that
support culling. Silent Thunder is a natural history rich in ponderings about the animal world and
how humans participate in it. It is also a passionate story of Payne's own spiritual quest as she turns an
observant eye on her own role in this world and honors the holistic perspective of her indigenous friends,
who became her teachers in Zimbabwe, Payne's courage and empathy shine through on every page, giving this
unique combination of scientific journal and personal memoir an unforgettable emotional power."

Solo
The Story of an African Wild Dog
von Hugo van Lawick, David Bygott (Illustrationen), Vorwort von
Jane van Lawick-Goodall
Gebundene Ausgabe, 159 Seiten, 8 Farbfotos
auf 4 Tafeln, 43 Schwarzweißillustrationen, Karte William
Collins Sons & Co. (UK), Oktober 1973, ISBN 0-00-216754-9
Synopsis: "A scientific investigation
into the habits of the evasive and little-studied Afircan wild dog that ended up yielding fruit in one of
the most moving and exciting real life animal sagas. Solo was an African wild dog puppy, the runt of
the litter, set upon by other puppies but determined to assert her right to a place in the pack. But when
the pack set off on a great trek in search of food and water, she could not keep up and was about to be
killed by the prowling hyenas when she was rescued by the author. Every detail in the story of Solo
is accurate - the result of endless hours of skilled, patient observation - yet no fiction writer could have
contrived a better plot or more inspiring end."
