Item Description

Make a winning bid on this intriguing book, Spirit of the Elephant by Gill Davies.

Fascinating text and superb photographs explore the world of elephants—their daily lives, the social structure of their families, how they raise their young, life in the herds, the leadership of the matriarch, and the solitary life of the powerful male.

  • Discover how elephants can communicate with one another while many miles apart using sounds that are too low for the human ear to detect.
  • Learn where elephants are found today and understand the crucial differences between those that live on the African and Asian continents.
  • Other than man, elephants have the largest brain size—in proportion to their body weight—of any mammal. This book explores many aspects of their remarkable intelligence, some only recently discovered.

Spirit of the Elephant includes over 200 dramatic color photographs which reveal countless facets of this amazing animal.
