When South African conservationist Lawrence Anthony was asked to accept a herd of "rogue" wild elephants on his Thula Thula game reserve in Zululand, his common sense told him to refuse. But he was the herd's last chance of survival: they would be killed if he wouldn't take them. In order to save their lives, Anthony took them in. In the years that followed he became a part of their family. And as he battled to create a bond with the elephants, he came to realize that they had a great deal to teach him about life, loyalty, and freedom. Set against the background of life on an African game reserve, "The Elephant Whisperer" is a heart-warming, exciting, funny, and sometimes sad account of Anthony's experiences with these huge yet sympathetic creatures.

Working with animals I already knew and understood about being in the moment, and although I have done an Animal communication course, I fully believe all animals do understand what you say to them, either word for word or just from inferrance, something which Lawrence witnessed several times.
I cried my eyes out when they shot Mnumzane in Chapter 40, but like Lawrence stated following discussion with other rangers, it was and is often difficult to diagnose the root cause - excuse the punn - of him going rogue.
I have seen documentaries on just such the subject.
I'm glad The Royal Zulu project did finally get off the ground, thanks to Nkosi Biyela, the most powerful chief, who controlled the biggest chunk of land finally agreeing to it.
And I also agree that its best that the new generation are allowed to return to the wild, and thus have less interaction with humans.
