"This is not a book about lions - it is the story of the Kalahari lion." Large-format hardcover, translated from the Afrikaans, xi + 168 pages, illustrated throughout with colour photos, NOT ex-library. Weight 946g. Limited light wear, slightly wavy page edges (not moisture-damaged). Book is clean and bright with unmarked text, free of inscriptions and stamps, firmly bound. Issued without a dust jacket. -- A book dedicated to the iconic lions that roam the Kalahari Desert. With decades of fieldwork and extensive experience in wildlife studies, Eloff provides a captivating account of the behavior, ecology, and survival strategies of these majestic creatures in one of the harshest environments on Earth. The book delves into the unique challenges faced by the Kalahari lions, from scarce water resources to fierce competition for prey. Eloff's narrative combines scientific insight with vivid storytelling, offering readers an intimate view of the Kalahari lion's daily life, hunting techniques, social structures, and interactions with other species. Illustrated with stunning photographs, this work is both a tribute to the resilience of wildlife in extreme conditions and a valuable resource for anyone interested in animal behavior, conservation, and the natural history of Africa. -- Contents: Foreword; Acknowledgements; Map of the study area; Chapter One: The Beginning 1 How it all began 2 Mystique of the Kalahari 3 Bushmen of the Kalahari 4 Bobby 5 The Kalahari ecosystem 6 Lions and man 7 What is the Kalahari lion?; Chapter Two: The Study 8 Trials and tribulations 9 Campfires that never die 10 Loffiesdraai 11 Footprints in the sand; Chapter Three: The Story 12 Preamble 13 The pride 14 Communication 15 Land use 16 Activities 17 Life history 18 Food ecology; Chapter Four: Legends of the Kalahari 19 Kromvoet of Gharagab 20 The Sisters Gang 21 Haaslip, Don Juan of the Kalahari 22 The champion lioness 23 The alliance 24 Young heroes of the Kalahari; Reflections; References.…
