Mahale: A Photographic Encounter with Chimpanzees

Angelika Hofer, Angelika Hoffer, Gunter Ziesler. Sterling Publishing (NY), $24.95 (160pp) ISBN 978-0-8069-5889-7

Charming Chimps and Puppy Love For more than 15 years, primatologist Michael A. Huffman devoted himself to studying the chimpanzee community in Mahale, a 100-mile-long national park in Tanzania. Collaborating with biologist Angelika Hofer and wildlife photographer G nter Ziesler in Mahale: A Photographic Encounter with Chimpanzees, Huffman presents a personal and moving tribute to the many animal friends he has made--such as Bembe, the clan's third-ranked male, and the elderly Gwekulo, who was not able to bear any children but loves to play with them. Foreword by Jane Goodall. Full-color photos throughout.
