The same is true of the pictures in this book. It includes studies of elephants, black rhinoceros, waterbuck, wild dogs, hyenas, impalas, eland, zebra, giraffe, wildebeest, and vultures. "From the photographic point of view, I consider the lion the most pleasing, the rhino the most interesting, and the buffalo the most exciting. But the elephant possesses all these attributes in a high degree, and, in addition, is extremely amusing and intelligent. Hence I consider elephant photography the most fascinating of all."
