| The authors draw upon their own research of many years in the wild, in museums, and in zoos throughout the world, as well
as the findings of other workers in the field. Specifically discussed is the place of the giraffe in its environment, including the manner in which it has adapted to its habitat and to other species living there, as well as changes due to the encroachment of man. |
| | | | "This remains the classic giraffe reference, including not only the authors' extensive field research, but a comprehensive overview of other researchers' work…this is not a book for light pleasure reading, but offers an amazing amount of detailed information
from many sources otherwise difficult to assemble."--Laurie Bingaman Lackey, Wildlife Biologist ISIS, Animal Keepers' Forum, November 2003 |
