This fascinating book gives us deep glimpses into how these animals live in nature. It combines detailed studies of the behavioral ecology and ethology of anacondas with the personal story of how Jesús developed as a scientist and field biologist along with his often-provocative ethical and political views on research and conservation. This book is a rare treasure for anyone interested in the lives of large potentially dangerous animals and the scientists who
study them.
