In the savanna’s sunburned yellow grass, two lion cubs play under the indolent gaze of their father, while a short distance away, a pack of hyenas fights over a gazelle carcass. Presenting a realistic, unflinching look at life on the African savanna, this fascinating volume by acclaimed naturalists Christine and Michel Denis-Huot reveals the many faces of this beautiful and challenging habitat. Capturing moments of peaceful harmony and episodes of harsh reality, these exceptional images offer readers a uniquely personal, up-close perspective on life in one of the world’s most intriguing and complex habitats. The Denis-Huots bring to this book the same depth of information and sense of respect and admiration for African wildlife that made their recent publication, Lords of the Savannah, so compelling. With their first-hand knowledge of the African savanna and ability to capture on film moments we would never ordinarily witness, they are uniquely equipped to chronicle the life cycles of the denizens of this truly wild world. Accompanying hundreds of photographs, the engaging text provides the latest finding on the habits and habitats of the savanna’s wildlife, and expresses the authors’ fascination with wildest Africa.
