Based on three years of study in the Serengeti National Park, George B. Schaller's The Serengeti Lion describes the vast impact of the lion and other predators on the great herds of wildebeest, zebra, and gazelle for which the area is famous. The most comprehensive book available on the lion, this classic work includes the author's findings on all aspects of lion behavior, including its social system, population dynamics, hunting behavior, and predation patterns.
