MY JOURNEY WITH A THOUSAND BIGFOOTSElephants embody all the characteristics we value in humans: They are fiercely loyal to family. They will risk their own lives to protect their offspring. Their herds are marked by a system of deference to the oldest, wisest female. Their friendships last for life. They mourn their dead, and they have an elaborate communication system. Join conservationist and wildlife guide Gideon Meyer on his journey with elephants over several years, where they allowed him to share their world – the world of the gentle giants. Lavishly illustrated with photos taken by Gideon in South Africa and Botswana.
