DOWNLOAD EBOOKQuietly, without most people noticing, the population of giraffes in the wild has decreased by nearly 40 percent since 1985. Giraffes have disappeared entirely from seven countries where they used to live. Researchers believe fewer than 98,000 exist in the wild—fewer even than endangered African elephants. In 2016, the International Union for the Conservation of Nature added giraffes to the organization's Red List of Threatened Species. What is causing their disappearance? Overpopulation of humans in giraffe habitats and illegal poaching. Learn about giraffes' physical characteristics, habitats, and life cycles; examine the dangers they face from humans and climate change; and meet the scientists working to save these gentle giants using technology and conservation efforts.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKWith its iconic appearance and historic popular appeal, the giraffe is the world's tallest living terrestrial animal and the largest ruminant. Recent years have seen much-needed new research undertaken to improve our understanding of this unique animal. Drawing together the latest research into one resource, this is a detailed exploration of current knowledge on the biology, behaviour and conservation needs of the giraffe. Dagg highlights striking new data, covering topics such as species classification, the role of infrasound in communication, biological responses to external temperature changes and motherly behaviour and grief. The book discusses research into behaviour alongside practical information on captive giraffe, including diet, stereotypical behaviour, ailments and parasites, covering both problems and potential solutions associated with zoo giraffe. With giraffe becoming endangered species in Africa, the book ultimately focuses on efforts to halt population decline and the outlook for conservation measures.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKWhy do I keep coming back to Africa? It is not the safari; it’s the wilderness of the continent that attracts me like a magnet. Its unkempt nature, unforgiving wilderness, red earth, Maasai people, beautiful acacia trees and blooming jacaranda—they all define my love for Africa. “I had a farm in Africa at the foot of the Ngong Hills.” Yes, Out of Africa is an epic movie that has shaped my thoughts and inspired me to travel to Africa over and over again. No matter how many times I travel to Africa, my quest for Africa never ends. Sitting alone in the bushland on a moonlit night, I hear the night birds chirping and an owl hooted somewhere. I feel the moon drops silently dripping down on me. I love it! A star-filled African night whispers in my ears—“Stay with me.” I close my eyes. I hear Denys Finch in Out of Africa saying, “I don’t want to live someone else’s idea of how to live.” Denys was so right! Yes, that is the Africa I fell in love with, and that is my story I would love to share with you.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKRenowned primatologist Robert Sapolsky offers a completely revised and updated edition of his most popular work, with over 225,000 copies in print Now in a third edition, Robert M. Sapolsky's acclaimed and successful Why Zebras Don't Get Ulcers features new chapters on how stress affects sleep and addiction, as well as new insights into anxiety and personality disorder and the impact of spirituality on managing stress. As Sapolsky explains, most of us do not lie awake at night worrying about whether we have leprosy or malaria. Instead, the diseases we fear-and the ones that plague us now-are illnesses brought on by the slow accumulation of damage, such as heart disease and cancer. When we worry or experience stress, our body turns on the same physiological responses that an animal's does, but we do not resolve conflict in the same way-through fighting or fleeing. Over time, this activation of a stress response makes us literally sick. Combining cutting-edge research with a healthy dose of good humor and practical advice, Why Zebras Don't Get Ulcers explains how prolonged stress causes or intensifies a range of physical and mental afflictions, including depression, ulcers, colitis, heart disease, and more. It also provides essential guidance to controlling our stress responses. This new edition promises to be the most comprehensive and engaging one yet.
