Running Wild - Dispelling the Myths of the African Wild Dog (Hardcover, Reprinted edition)

This magnificent book is a tribute to the wild dogs of Africa, once treated as vermin in African game reserves and shot on sight. Conservationists have only recently taken note of the plight of these animals, but it is almost too late to save this African carnivore, now firmly on the endangered list. By emphasising the close social interactions of a pack of wild dogs, this book goes a long way towards reversing their negative image. The photographs and text document closely the life of a particular pack in northern Botswana, celebrating their untamed existence and pointing out their vulnerability in Africa. Written by scientists, the text is authoritative and interesting and readers share in the authors' daily observations as they uncover extraordinary new facts about the life and habits of the African wild dogs
