Why does the zebra have stripes and the elephant a long trunk? How
did the giraffe acquire a long neck and why does a hippopotamus lie
in muddy water all day? How does an acacia tree kill grazing wild.
Do wild animals speak to each other and do they have feelings? In
The Greatest Safari, the reader is taken on an African adventure
and told stories about the feelings, senses and communication of
the savannah's many inhabitants. From sausage trees, cycads,
termites and ants to lions, hyenas, bats and gorillas. This book
deals with the mechanisms that propelled life. We humans have
acquired the facility of feeling we are something special, and thus
also the feeling that we constitute an evolutionary zenith. In
contradiction to this, nature is indifferent and within its
boundaries there is only one criterion for success, namely
survival. What the brain can produce in terms of poetry and nuclear
physics is beneath notice compared with the ability to survive. If
we accept the prehistoric people Homo habilis and Homo erectus as
the first human beings on Earth, bacteria are still thousands of
times older and are currently the most successful organism.
