Riassunto:

When Fritz Walther was a young boy growing up in Dresden, his grandfather took him to the zoo, where he immediately fell in love with gazelles and dreamed of going to Africa to study them. He finally realized this dream in the 1960s, when he began a series of research field trips in the Serengeti National Park. His work led to numerous important studies in animal behavior and communication, especially on Thomson's and Grant's gazelles. Now, almost thirty years after his field research, Walther gives us a memoir of his experiences - the challenges, problems, and romance of studying animals on the Serengeti at a time when it was still one of the great wild areas of the world. This is a book for everyone who loves nature, cares about the environment, and wants to learn how a dedicated scientist unlocks the secrets of animal behavior.
