Download or read book Wild Life in Central Africa Classic Reprint written by Denis D. Lyell and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12 with total page 394 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Wild Life in Central Africa This book is a simple account of the ripe experience of ten years spent in Central Africa, which is the tract of country known as Nyasaland and north-eastern Rhodesia. The former protectorate used to be known as British Central Africa, and the latter territory is now amalgamated iwith north-western Rhodesia, known collectively as Northern Rhodesia, to distinguish it from Southern Rhodesia, which embraces the old-time territories of Matabeleland and Mashonaland. For the last ten years I have spent a wandering sort of life in Nyasaland and north-eastern Rhodesia, so, to get a short and descriptive title, I use the title Wild Life in Central Africa. I am afraid this is rather a disjointed kind of volume, digressions are frequent, and possibly there is a certain amount of repetition. For this I can only plead that I have suffered much from malarial fever, both in India and Central Africa, and my memory is such that I sometimes forget what I have written soon afterwards.

Download or read book Central African Game and Its Spoor Classic Reprint written by C. H. Stigand and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-04 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Central African Game and Its Spoor This handbook is intended as a help or guide to the young or inexperienced sportsman who intends making a hunting trip to Central Africa. Spoor cannot be put on paper to exactly resemble the real thing. In drawing these spoor the outlines have been well defined, and it must be noted that they are taken from picked specimens (distinct impressions in the soil). As may be surmised the finding and sketching of these spoor and dung has cost not a little time and trouble, and in the case of the lesser known or scarcer animals much questioning of native hunters before the information has been deemed reliable enough to be put on paper. It will take months, and perhaps years, of hard experience to tell at a glance to what animal a footprint belongs, and the authors themselves have often felt the want of some fairly reliable handbook while in the field, especially on going to a new country and meeting with species they have not seen before. Before one can question a native a certain knowledge of the language is necessary, and this in itself takes much study. The authors, therefore, have given the native names of the different game. Many of the ideas and conclusions put forward by the authors may not meet with the approval of perhaps older and more experienced sportsmen, but at the same time they are the result of experience. And differences of Opinion concerning the habits of animals arise between most sportsmen, no two holding exactly the same views. It will be noticed that the words generally, often, or usually are of frequent occurrence in describing the habits of animals. We think it the greatest mistake to say that any animal will do this or that. As the behaviour of no two animals is any more alike than that of two human beings. Moreover the same animal may have totally different habits in different localities. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Fish River Bush South Africa and Its Wild Animals Classic Reprint written by W. T. Black and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-26 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Fish River Bush South Africa and Its Wild Animals The following articles on the Fish River Bush of the Cape Colony are taken from the "Edinburgh New Philosophical Journal" of July and October 1853, and Vol. 54, No. 107, to which they were contributed, when the Author was stationed there during the Caffre Wars, from personal observation on patrol with the troops. Considerable alteration will no doubt have taken place in the condition of nature since then, owing to colonisation and cultivation of the primeval wilderness then existing. Farming and agriculture will have invaded the valleys and their flats, and established dwellings and tillage. The wild animals, as Elephants and Hippopotami, Tigers and Hyaenas, Koodoos and Bush Buck, will have disappeared by now, but most of the Birds may still remain denizens of the woods. The sketches were taken at the time, 1848 and 1852, on the spot, and represent the aspect of nature as then existing, but probably not at the present time. References are inserted to plates in Capt. Harris' "Wild Animals," 1840, and "Wild Sports," 1852, in Southern Africa, with illustrations of the above notes.

Download or read book Humans and Hyenas written by Keith Somerville and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-03-18 with total page 181 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Humans and Hyenas examines the origins and development of the relationship between the two to present an accurate and realistic picture of the hyena and its interactions with people. The hyena is one of the most maligned, misrepresented and defamed mammals. It is still, despite decades of research-led knowledge, seen as a skulking, cowardly scavenger rather than a successful hunter with complex family and communal systems. Hyenas are portrayed as sex-shifting deviants, grave robbers and attackers of children in everything from African folk tales through Greek and Roman accounts of animal life, to Disney’s The Lion King depicting hyenas with a lack of respect and disgust, despite the reality of their behaviour and social structures. Combining the personal, in-depth mining of scientific papers about the three main species and historical accounts, Keith Somerville delves into our relationship with hyenas from the earliest records from millennia ago, through the accounts by colonisers, to contemporary coexistence, where hyenas and humans are forced into ever closer proximity due to shrinking habitats and loss of prey. Are hyenas fated to retain their bad image or can their amazing ability to adapt to humans more successfully than lions and other predators lead to a shift in perspective? This book will be of great interest to students and scholars in the environmental sciences, conservation biology, and wildlife and conservation issues.

This book was released on 2017-10-28 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Ecological Survey of the St. Floris National Park, Central African Republic The rapid depletion of tropical forests is recognized as one of the most serious world conservation issues. Despite increasing awareness of the problem, systems that lead to the sustained productivity of most tropical lands have not been achieved with existing technology. In addition, little ecological information is available to policy makers in tropical countries for use in making development planning decisions which will affect ecosystems. For example, it is estimated that a minimum of 3 million species of organisms occur in the tropics but only one sixth of these are known to science. Such information is vital to the development of ecologically sound systems capable of supporting the increasing numbers of people living in the tropics. Governments and international organizations are developing responses to this problem. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
