Drimmer's Roar! 100 Facts About African Animals is so full of information about the life that inhabits the savanna, jungle, and desert of the Dark Continent that amateur zoologists of all ages will have at least one piece of information with which to impress friends and family alike. It is also an excellent primer for a trip to the zoo.
