Who would have guessed that a rhinoceros communicates by whistling? That a wildebeest can run just minutes after emerging from its mother's womb? That a hippopotamus eats 200 pounds of leaves a day? Thomas Allen gathers a host of intriguing profiles of the animals of Africa, their number rapidly diminishing, to narrate this collection of some 200 photographic images by Jim Brandenburg, Mitsuaki Iwago, Frans Lanting, Michael Nichols, and Shin Yoshino. The work is of uniformly high quality and is handsomely presented, making Animals of Africa a fine gift book for animal lovers.

Excellent Photographic Safari April 1, 1999
8 out of 8 found this review helpful
I have a child who is Autistic and 3 1/2 years old who fell in love with this book. He carries it around with him, although it is a bit big. His father (me) is a well known wildlife photographer who is an admirer of the photographic talent displayed in this publication. I recommend this publication highly to those who have an interest in African wildlife and the preservation of endangered and threatened animal populations. The only way this book may have been improved is if they used some of the photos that my sons father took. I still give it 5 stars!
