Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “The day was hot, the air was still and dust devils danced across the bush as Lofty waited in the shade at the edge of the forest, sometimes lifting his great trunk to test the air for scent. Suddenly there it was, the smell of humans and the guns they carried; he knew the poachers were not far away.” “Suddenly and shockingly, there was an explosion of water and a huge crocodile leapt out of the shallows and fastened its jaws onto a young elephant’s leg, dragging him back into the water.” “Raising his trunk to its full extent, Lofty caught the faint but distinctive smell that came from burning grass and trees, and knew that this was the start of a bush fire, always a great danger to animals caught in its path.” Travel the bush tracks and forests of Africa with Lofty the elephant and experience the sights and sounds of wild Africa. See through the eyes of an elephant, the dangers and challenges faced by him and his herd as they follow their ancient migration routes across this vast continent.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Rifle and Hound in Ceylon" is a book written by Sir Samuel White Baker.

Sir Samuel White Baker was a 19th-century British explorer, naturalist, and big-game hunter. In "The Rifle and Hound in Ceylon," Baker likely details his observations of the local flora and fauna, as well as his hunting expeditions, providing insights into the wildlife and landscapes of Ceylon during that period. The book reflects the Victorian fascination with natural history and big-game hunting prevalent among European explorers of the time. For readers interested in 19th-century travel literature, hunting narratives, and the colonial history of Ceylon, Sir Samuel White Baker's account provides a window into the adventurous spirit of the era and the interactions between European explorers and the exotic locales they visited.
