{"product_id":"9781775843412","title":"Understanding Elephants","description":"\u003cp\u003eElephants are arguably Africa's most charismatic animals, and among the biggest drawcards to our game reserves. While the burgeoning game-park industry may be increasing our access to these magnificent creatures, rising human-elephant encounters are an inevitable outcome - sometimes, sadly, fatal. Such encounters could likely have been avoided had those involved understood elephant behaviour, and particularly how these intelligent animals interface with traffic through their territory. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThis book describes elephant family life, from rearing of infants to establishing dominance within a herd; it unpacks regular elephant behaviour, the matriarchal system, the particular dangers of males in musth, and many other aspects of their lives. Most of all, it provides guidelines for ensuring safe and enjoyable encounters with these majestic animals. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThis is an essential guide for those planning visits to reserves: aside from the interest factor, being able to read the tell-tale signs may just save lives.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"book-contributors\"\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"contributor-item\"\u003e\n    \u003cspan class=\"contributor-role\"\u003eAuthor\u003c\/span\u003e\n    \u003ca href=\"\/search?q=Author+Elephant+Advisory+Group\" class=\"contributor-link\"\u003eElephant Advisory Group\u003c\/a\u003e\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Elephant Advisory Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47375700721827,"sku":"9781775843412","price":210.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0741\/7836\/3555\/files\/img_9781775843412_da0a5821-2ce3-407b-9898-0d9035dfe818.jpg?v=1776574327","url":"https:\/\/graffitibooks.co.za\/products\/9781775843412","provider":"Graffiti Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
