Opis

This book explores the fascinating and complex lives of the honey badger, the African jackals (black-backed jackal and side-striped), African golden wolves and Eurasian golden jackals. It will interest researchers, scientists, and students in wildlife conservation, human-wildlife relations, zoology, biology and environmental science.

Recenzje

"This book has benefited from more colour from Somerville’s extensive on-the-ground reporting, including his first-hand observations of the interactions of jackals and honey badgers in Botswana — observations that lead to this work, which stands as a definitive account of these often misunderstood and persecuted creatures."

Ed Stoddard, in an excerpt from a review in Daily Maverick, South Africa.
