Product Information

When you’re feeling down and out and defeated and ready to give up, read this inspiring book and share it widely with others.

Anthony has made a difference in the lives of many magnificent animals who otherwise would have been lost to the world. South of Cape Town, down the peninsula, takes you to Cape Point, populated by aggressive baboons that just as soon steal your food as look at you. This is a beautifully written story of perseverance, patience, understanding, loyalty, and love that is hard to put down. it's seductive charm and charisma, its ancient wisdom so often stained bby unfathomable spasms of blood.As Lawrence battled to create a bond with the elephants and save them from execution, he came to realise that they had a lot to teach him about love, loyalty and freedom. As Lawrence risked his life to create a bond with the troubled elephants and persuade them to stay on his reserve, he came to realize what a special family they were, from the wise matriarch Nana, who guided the herd, to her warrior sister Frankie, always ready to see off any threat, and their children who fought so hard to survive.

Our family of four, along with a Dutch family of four from Rotterdam, scrambled on to the large Toyota land rover. The Elephant Whisperer is a touching story of the amazing capabilities of elephants and the story of how humans can reach out to them. Before the move was complete the elephants broke out again and the matriarch and her baby were shot, the remaining elephants were traumatised, dangerous, and very angry. The drive from the airport takes you past Cape Flats, a remnant of apartheid that displays small, boxed dwellings that stretch as far as the eye can see, housing the poorest of the poor. A man with a heart the size of his achievements passed from not only this life, but the life of the many animals he dedicated his love to.I read that the author of this book recently passed away and that the elephants he interacted with for many years instinctively traveled a very long way on foot over many, many miles to come and visit him at the place where he passed away. In such, death and the recycling of essential elements is a necessary precursor to new life in Earth's closed system of physical life.

He was an international member of the esteemed Explorers Club of New York and a member of the National Council of the Southern Africa Association for the Advancement of Science, South Africa's oldest scientific association. If he refuses the request, all the elephants will be killed as they are causing lot of damages to the owner.So don't let the "whisperer" title make you think it's just another of those "sappy animal lover reads". Elephants are only one of three mammals, other than humans, that can recognize themselves in a mirror. According to Anthony’s son, Dylan, both herds arrived at the Anthony family compound shortly after his death (their last visit was several months back).

It is a source of great happiness that there are such people working tirelessly to create an environment of inclusion in a world that increasingly seems focused on self-aggrandizement.Without a matriarch or a bull mentor, the young males can easily turn into rogues that rampage through villages or attack every animal in sight.
