Best PDF Ebook A Photo Journey of The Great Migration, by Xuantong Wang
The great migration of East Africa is one of nature’s greatest event on our planet. For millions of years, the volcanic activities had released tons of ash that made this land more fertile than any other parts of the world. Because of the fertile soil, millions of animals are able to grow and reproduce here. From April to October, over a million wildebeests, zebras, gazelles, and other animals head north from Serengeti to Maasai Mara, and forms the great migration of East Africa. In this book, there are more than 200 pictures that show the journey of the great migration.

0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Excellent, Good value for money. Highly Recommended. By Dr I live in New Zealand and like Kindle Books-- I save a lot on postage.The author is an accomplished photographer. Almost all the photos are excellentI first saw his work in the book on lions and got this one as well.There is some overlap in photos but not much.I have not checked my identifications, so sorry if I got it wrong. Flicking back and forth between several Kindle books and the review page makes things difficult.The book is mainly photographs with some brief text.The book follows the Great Migration-- as do many othersTable of Contents ( there is no direct access.to the chapters and no obvious search function-- I was not troubled by this. I just enjoyed the excellent photos.Most animals, birds and reptiles are not named. A number are common, but some are less clear.I quite like this as it sharpens my skill in working out what is what.ContentsThe BeginningSerengeti National ParkNgorongoro CraterOlduvai GorgeDangersCrossing the Mara RiverMaasai MaraThe New BirthThe endless cycleReturn to SerengetiCommentsThe photos aim for crystal clarity-- almost all achieve this. (The photographer had been taking photos in this area for some 13 plus years.)I will pick out some highlights for me.LandscapeSome photos are taken from a balloon and you see the animals on migration. You also see the landscape in a way I don't often see it in my other books. There are photos Ngorongoro Crater and Olduvai Gorge along with the more usual ones of this Savannah.There are several good photos of sunsetsAnimals and Birds and a few reptiles.Many of the animals are familiar , and in familiar situations.However the photographer seems to be able to invest an element of interest and curosity into the photos.I don't know where to start as there was a lot I likedThe life cycle.One sees males fighting for dominance, mating and mothers with young.The fight for dominance range from the smaller antelope, to Wildebeest , Buffalo, Giraffes, to Rhnos etc.One sees moderate size antelope mating along with Wildebeest and lions. On the whole mating is fast as a predator may well attack.There is an excellent set of photos of mothers with young-- this was a real treat for me.The elephant shots were wonderful. There are various antelope with young and I think an Impala crèche-- the best photo I have of this -- you see the young and the crèche mothers who anxiously scan for predatorsThere is good coverage of Hyaenas in general and also of a female outside a den with a young cub-- about 3-4 months ( they are black at birth and start to develop their spots at about 4 months-- this was also shown ( one of the best shots I have of this side of hyaena life.,There are several photos of female hippos with a very small hippo and a slightly older one.Lion Cheetahs and there Cubs are shown, and I could go onThe big cats.Lions well covered but see his other book where the coverage is better.Cheetah Coverage is reasonableGood coverage of leopards, both on the ground and up a tree-- I don't remember seeing Cubs.Hyaenas see aboveZebra good coverage. I like to see zebra families-- there is a group of several families at a rivers edge --they need to cross-- you see the stallions with there mares with or without young.there is tension as the families work out where it is safest to cross. For me a wonderful photo. Others were also goodElephants. A range of wonderful photos-- yes, everyone has similar photos but I really like this selection.Includes a photo of the calf drinking from the mammary glands (that are between it's mother's front legs) Good photos of matriarchs and there families-- some just mother and several of her relatively young family , others bigger groups.Birds.My bird recognition is poor. There are a number of excellent photos of both small and large birds, I think some with chicks.There is a group of Ostriches and several photos of FlamingoReptiesCrocodiles in and out of the waterChameleon etcThe Great Migration.Nothing new but well covered. I really enjoyed the photographsThe killsVarious kills shown, often with lions around , then other animals like Hyaenas and Jackels.One sees the vultures and the carcass picked clear-- only the bones are leftZebra, Wildebeest and a Giraffe are among the victims.One could go on.SummaryA wide ranging set of excellent photos related to various stages of the Great MigrationText is brief and you will need to identify a number of animals, birds and reptiles.For me there were a number of memorable images-- I will return to this book often as I hone my animal identification skillsThis is truely excellent value for money.I enjoy trying to identify animals etcI also enjoy reading about animal behaviour-- like the many details you can tell about Zebra, or Hyaenas or any of a number of animalsI really likeWild ways by Peter Apps -- see my review.I have mentioned other favourite books onb both East African Animals and other topics at"Touring South Afric's National Parks"Michael BrettThe focus is on Southern Africa, but some of the books are also helpful for East Africa.As I live in New Zealand I go for Kindle books so that I can save on postage. There are a number of good books that are just in paperback etc.There are excellent WILDguides on East Africa-- These cover both animals and birds.I have reviewed a few as have many others. They have an excellent photo, identifation features, distribution map, a brief note on animal behaviour and conservation status. WILDguides is one word with wild in capitals and guide in small case. The whole series is well worth considering.I really like Cand M Stuart's various guides-- just make sure that you get the latest edition. There is a book on the mammals of East Africa.The WILDguides cover the birds well-- a topic I am currently working onReptiles -- my only books relate to Southern Africa.For me looking at photos gets me reading about animals and animal behaviour. This has been well worth the time from my point of view.I even bought 1-2 large academic studies on the migration and am slowly working my way through " the Gnu's World" R Estes ( Gnu is another name for Wildebeest.) I would only recommend it if you really like very long academic texts ( I studied medicine ) .
