What to read after Predator: Life and Death in the African Bush?

This book overflows with information that both enlightens the reader (or safari traveler) and dispels many popular misconceptions, such as the idea that hyenas are nothing more than scavengers (false) or that lions are the kings of beasts (they exhibit behavior that is decidedly not kingly). Sometimes violent, sometimes downright gruesome, but always spectacular, Ross's images illustrate not only common but also rarely or never bee behaviors, such as leopards mating in daylight, a pair of young bachelor cheetahs successfully bringing down a healthy adult male wildebeest, or a baboon meeting his untimely end in the jaws of a crocodile. Ross's engaging text is full of anecdotes from his vast experience in the field as well as tips specifically geared to the needs of safari goers, offering suggestions as to what to look for, how to track the animals, and exercises to do that will help safari goers become more involved with the animals they seek. Ross offers even more tips: how to photograph the animals, what equipment to use, and what to bring with you on a game drive.
