The Elephant Whisperer: Learning About Life, Loyalty and Freedom From a Remarkable Herd of Elephants

Product Information

What a beautiful story that teaches us so much about the capability of animals to show deep love and concern, and the bonds they can form with humans. Elephants cannot repair a computer, but they do have communication, physical and metaphysical, that would make Bill Gates’s mouth drop open. The audio narration by Simon Vance is wonderful, and earned a Audie Award for Biography/Memoir in 2014. This book contains story after story of wild adventures that take place over an undefined number of years, which are well-chosen for their level of significance, adventure, danger, or comedic effect. These elephants are notorious in breaking away from their sanctuaries and have been so far unmanageable.

They travelled several miles and came in two separate herds, and stayed there for two days solemnly in mourning. Farther into the bush, we saw huge, galloping giraffes that would stop and munch from the tops of trees and, now fortified, bang necks with each other in combat. The accounts you can read of the mourning by the elephants after the passing of Lawrence Anthony, show us how animals have feelings often as deep as that of humans, and their attachments to both other animals and their human friends.

This book will appeal to anyone with a passion for animals, concern about wildlife conservation, or desire to find out what it is like to operate a game preserve in Africa.
