      June 14, 2004: Goodall and van Lawick provide a close look at African wild dogs, jackals, and hyenas in this introduction to African predators based on a series of short term studies. The book is divided into four parts: an overview of the 'hunting grounds', and one section each on wild dogs, jackals and hyenas. I was particualy facinated by the amazingly complex, easy going society of hyenas. In typical Goodall style, the animals are given names, and their personalities will shine through the pages into your heart. This book is perfect for any reader who has ever been drawn to the wild dog's friendly faces, marveled at the jackel's audacity, or wondered what hyenas are really like.
