Book Description

October 2001
Of all Africa's wildlife, none has captured the imagination more than those species that have come over the years to be known as the big five. Whether the biggest, the most beautiful, the fiercest or most formidable, these animals are the ones that have the power to remind us of our insignificance in the face of the true kings of the savannas. This is a truly magnificent record of Africa's Big Five.

This review is from: Africa's Big Five (Hardcover)
Having returned from Africa recently and seen the book there I knew I wanted it in my library upon my
return. It's a beautiful book and helps one become more informed about the big five animals in Africa.
