Lawrence Anthony
The elephant whisperer
Lawrence Anthony faced a difficult choice when asked to take in a herd of wild elephants deemed 'rogue' and facing certain death. Despite his initial reservations, he became their last hope for survival, bringing them to his reserve in Zululand. This is the story of how Anthony welcomed these magnificent creatures and the profound bond that developed between them.
While this book functions as a standalone narrative, it is often grouped with two other memoirs, An Elephant in My Kitchen and The Last Rhinos, which collectively document the ongoing conservation efforts at the Thula Thula reserve.
Lawrence Anthony also authored Babylon's Ark, which details his efforts to rescue animals from the Baghdad Zoo during the 2003 invasion of Iraq.
