Spirit of the Elephant

Texts and 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. The book shows how elephants can communicate with one another while many miles apart using sounds that are too low for the human ear to detect. Elephants have the largest brain size - in proportion to their body weight - of any mammal. This book explores many aspects of their intelligence. 'Spirit of the Elephant' includes over 200 color photographs which reveal countless facets of this animal.
