Komoon! Capturing the Chad Elephant

Komoon! Capturing the Chad Elephant by Heinrich Oberjohann, (translated by Rhoda de Terra) Review: from the dust jacket; "A big game catcher and not a hunter, he is interested above all in the animals' way of life. Of incredible physical endurance, oblivious to discomfort and fatigue, reckless and obstinate, he has followed the wild elephants of the Lake Chad region in Central Africa, trailing them into the remotest retreats. He has observed their life and habits in every season, caught their young and tried to raise them, often with heartbreaking results." "Heinrich Oberjohann was born in 1891 in Westphalia, Germany. Not content with capturing animals, Oberjohann was always intent on studying their behavior and psychology, on understanding them and making himself understood by them."
