Wild Ways by Peter Apps

Tens of thousands of visitors to game parks and reserves, hikers, hunters, farmers and other outdoor people have opportunities to observe the behaviour of these mammals. "Wild Ways" brings together the fascinating information on what animals do and why they do it. The first section introduces the concepts of ethology, the science of animal behaviour, traces its development and the techniques that have been evolved to tackle the formidable problems of working on animals in the wild. The 117 species accounts describe the behaviour of mammals from hedgehogs to hares, baboons to pangolins, dassies to aardvarks, lions to rats, whales to tsessebe and even fruit bats. The reader needs no special knowledge of zoology or animal behaviour to understand and enjoy this guide - technical jargon is avoided and ethological terms are explained in the text and in a glossary.
