This new volume provides readers with an overview of recent research on physiological, ecological, ethological, and anatomical considerations affecting a wide range of African mammals. It includes comprehensive coverage of the many interrelationships between herbivores and their food resources, a study that has yielded a wealth of information on the nutritive value of pastures, the occurrence of trace elements, and the movement of animals. The reader will also find a unique section on the adaptions of the okapi to the forest environment, and full chapters on the buffalo, Grevy's zebra, elephant, spotted hyaena, black rhinoceros, hippopotamus, and antelope. In addition, the book examines the adjustments made by pastoralists and their cattle to water shortages, and tsetse-borne disease in wild and domestic ungulates, as well as previously unavailable reviews of important works in progress.
