Synopsis: Elephants are sensitive, intelligent yet destructive creatures. They are the world's largest land mammals, possessed of incredible power, whose entertaining behaviour has delighted people for hundreds of years. Biologist and conservationist Joyce Poole has spent over half her life studying and protecting these remarkable animals. Drawing on her own ground-breaking studies of African elephant behaviour, she paints a detailed picture of both African and Asian elephants. Outstanding photography complements her descriptions of their complex society, their strong sense of family, their feeding and breeding habits and their chances of survival in the face of the outlawed ivory trade and insatiable human demands for land.
