Animals of Africacelebrates the richness and diversity of the African natural world in a stunning collection of more than 200 full-color images by four of the world's most talented wildlife photographers---Jim Brandenburg, Mitsuaki Iwago, Frans Lanting, and Michael Nichols. Africa is a bird-watchers paradise, and Animals of Africabrings its wonder to the armchair traveler in dozens of striking pictures, from the splendor of a million flamingos rising off a lake like a pink cloud, to the open-billed storks whose bills are specially designed to pry open snails and mollusks, to the weaver birds who plait complex globular homes.

The powerful images in Animals of Africawill deepen your appreciation of the natural world, of the fragility of life, and of the imperative to preserve animals and the wilderness in which they live.

This is a great read about the animals in Africa.
Big pictures. The most amazing pictures in good quality..
And even though it is mainly pictures in the book.
You get a lot of basic info on most of the animals.
In a well written and easy understandable way :)
Without being to childish, as many animal books are.
This one is great for young adults and adults with interest in african animals :)
