It is especially interesting to learn about the author's encounters with fierce animals like Wild Boar, Brown Bears and Wolves, all of which were once much more widely spread and still roam the more remote areas. He also describes and illustrates the family life of mammals such as the Badger, Fox, Polecat and Red Deer and also the rearing of birds, for example the Hoopoe, Reed Warbler, Spotted Eagle, Golden Oriole and Stork.There are over 220 beautiful photographs all taken by the author, a true record of his skill as a photographer and wildlife hunter.
