From the publisher

An eye-opening account of the lives and relationships of elephants in the wild in Kenya

Cynthia Moss studied the elephants in Kenya's Amboseli National Park for decades, and her long-term research revealed much of what we now know about these complex and intelligent animals. In Elephant Memories she turns that knowledge in an accessible, engaging, even moving story of individual elephants and their complicated relationships. With Moss as our guide, we get to know a number of elephants who are in a family group that is led by matriarchs Teresia, Slit Ear, Torn Ear, Tania, and Tuskless. and we develop new understanding of what elephants do when allowed to live in the wild. An afterword offers a view of the the families from a few years later and addresses current conservation issues.
