The Giraffe: Its Biology, Behavior, and Ecology

by Anne Innis Dagg, J. Bristol Foster

The authors draw upon their own research of many years in the wild, in museums, and in zoos throughout the world, as well as the findings of other workers in the field. Specifically discussed is the place of the giraffe in its environment, including the manner in which it has adapted to its habitat and to other species living there, as well as changes due to the encroachment of man.
