The most comprehensive book on giraffes to appear in the last fifty
years, this volume presents a magnificent portrait of a group of
animals who, in spite of their legendary elegance and astonishing
gentleness, may not entirely survive this century. Dale Peterson's
text provides a natural and cultural history of the world's tallest
and second-biggest land animals, describing in detail their biology
and behavior. He offers a new perspective on the giraffes' place in
our world, and argues for the stronger protection of these imposing
yet endangered creatures and their elusive forest relatives, the
okapis. Some 120 stunning photographs by award-winning wildlife
photographer Karl Ammann capture the grace and elegance of Giraffa
camelopardalis. Both beautiful and informative, the images document
giraffes' complex interactions with each other and their
environment.
