Derek and Beverly Joubert take you deep into the heart of
Africa as they come face to face with the fascinating world of
elephants. The Jouberts have spent the last 25 years living in the
bush. They''ve gotten up close and personal with elephants of all
sizes, seen their complex social structure of family and friends,
and witnessed first-hand the deep emotions they possess.You''ll find
out that elephants can be compassionate - adopting the lost
elephant baby separated from its family. You''ll also laugh as the
elephants'' curiousity and playfulness sometimes takes them too far
- as when the elephant sticks its trunk in their Land Rover, nosing
around for some water. You''ll learn about the many threats the
elephants face. The Joubert have also seen them under attack - both
by their natural enemy, the lion, and by mankind, as they continue
to be hunted and driven to smaller parcels of land by loss of
habitat. As with each Face to Face book, helpful and accessible
back matter, especially designed for report writers, includes a
facts-at-a-glance section, a conservation feature, a science
inquiry exercise, a glossary, an index, and how to find out
more.
