Opis

"What a fascinating journal..... Highly recommended" -- Paddy Stubbs, author of the Improbable book trilogy.

"Staring back at me from the darkness was the dappled head of a leopard." Enter Lui-Kotale in the Democratic Republic of Congo and meet some amazing primates, the bonobos. Get to know the least known great apes at a personal level as well as many other species and people. From bonobos in the day to leopards in the night being a bonobo habituator is far from dull.

During nine months following a wild group of bonobo, meat eating, wading and urinating on researchers, were some of the many amazing things these apes did. There were also the elephants, driver ants, snakes, poachers and local villagers to deal with. This is the side of Africa's dark heart you have never seen before, the warm heart.
