New in HOORC's Library: Ecology and behaviour of the African buffalo


Ecology and behaviour of the African buffalo : social inequality and decision making by H. H. T. Prins examines the benefits that animals gain from living in a social group. His 40 years of research, mainly at at Lake Manyara in northern Tanzania, enabled Prins to analyse behaviour patterns in relation to food sources, competitors , breeding and disease. Closer to home, AllAfrica.com reports Mmegi's recent story about buffalo in the village of Nata.
